Guru Kool-Aid: Are You Drinking It? – A SPN Exclusive Article
By David Jackson in Featured
What is a guru?Literally, a guru is a teacher. The word guru means "heavy" or "deep," thus a guru is a person "heavy" or "deep" in knowledge. In this sense, a schoolteacher is a guru, a coach or athletic instructor is a guru, a fine-arts, or even a dance teacher is a guru. One's parents are also gurus. In the religious field, where the word is most commonly used, a guru is a Hindu religious teacher. So a priest or any person learned in Hindu lore may be a guru. The main purpose of the guru is to teach. (Source: What is a Guru?)
Personally, I don't believe in so-called "gurus" - whether they're self-proclaimed or anointed. Never have. But I do believe in teachers and mentors. And I'm all for free enterprise - for everyone making as much money as they possibly can, with this caveat: Not off the backs of the desperate, naive, and people who can least afford it.
That's taking advantage of people. I have a problem with that.
They're Like Vampires
And that's why I have a problem with some Internet Marketing (IM) gurus. Not all, but some. They're like vampires... they stick their fangs into your neck, with no concern for your regard, and they just keep sucking your blood (i.e., money), until there's nothing left but a trail of bodies of the broke, wounded, and disenfranchised.
