A client with some knowledge of Sanskrit told me that the root meaning of “guru” is someone who guides you from darkness into light (‘gu’=dark, ‘ru’=light). That resonates with my own sense of calling, and has a dash of whimsy that pedestrian “expert” lacks. No interest in having an entourage, either.

And then at the VIP party we paid to attend the guru spent the night on a balcony overlooking the party - why not come down and join in the fun and be part of something you inspired. I think they've (their team and they) have overthought the celebrity brand bit a little too much. Ho hum wish I had been able to attend a couple of years ago when it would have been more intimate and face to face.

Love how authentic you are and your points about being accessible and building relationships. People buy from those they like and trust. Those they have relationships with. They don't want to do business with people who they cannot reach or relate to. I have an assistant, but she does NOT respond to my email, my voice mail or any of my social media accounts. She is not me and thus cannot communicate the same way. I do get her to follow up, to remind me to get back to people, to let me know what is important etc. I use her to assist me in growing my business. The top priority thought, the relationships, the wins and losses with my clients are 100% mine. Great video!
