The Hustle Blueprint-Become a Guru

She appears at the front of the conference room, exuding confidence.

Your co-workers say, "All of us started together; back then, she did not understand the job more than you or maybe me but look for her now!"

And it would be best if you admitted she appears born to instruct -- or even command. Fielding questions without having a flicker of nervousness, detailing focal points with such a guarantee that no one questions her expertise. She is all out, BOSS!

Naturally, there is a touch of reserve in the rear of your mind. Though you must admit, she seems so doggone cozy up there, so familiar, like she was born to do it.

Her confidence, which appears to be unshakable today, casts personal insecurities and self-doubts you confront every day.

The Truth Is-That executive you see was created, not born.

There are many more slots for executives than there are individuals to fill them. It is also apparent those businesses are still waiting for executives to be created. So instead, they produce their own.

But that's the first tip of what we will be speaking about in this blog.

Somebody who rises to be an authority figure in virtually any area is called a Guru. They are leaders who can navigate their way to becoming recognized as a leader in their industry. The exciting thing is that you can do precisely the same thing.

We realize that specific life experiences are likely to have leadership qualities. For example, if you have kids, your parents possibly watched when the birth of your firstborn child forced you into an enjoyable but frightening brand-new job -- as a parent.

Consider that first kid and how uncertain you were during the initial few weeks of being a new parent.

Now fast forward two or perhaps three kids later, and you are a seasoned pro. You have become increasingly confident as you have carried out the daily routine of becoming a mother or father. You are so close to the everyday experience that you might not recognize how much you have changed. You might still feel insecure and unsure inside. But ask your parents how much you have changed.

Parenting, nevertheless, isn't the only job that will stretch you. Any new role will cause you to develop and grow your skills. Eventually, you will gain improved confidence in your power to get the job done.

As you enter any new job, you will progressively gain confidence about the decisions and actions you lacked when you started. 

Where does that confidence originate from? It almost always starts from many years of observing your parents and those of your friends in parenting. You model what you've seen.

Parenting is a great deal of on-the-job training. You practice becoming a parent by making an effort, making choices, dealing with crises, and being directly in the center, day in and day out. You discover by making errors, surviving, fixing, and continuing. You become a little wiser with every right or wrong turn.

You are a Guru! To the kids, you are (less or more) the boss. Moreover,  you acquired that stature merely by getting in and performing it. Although you made a few goof-ups in the process, you have also learned from most of them, and now you have a degree of self-assurance as you handle your family.

Today, let us take that principle and place it into the world of work. Provided with a bit of time and some focused effort, you can become an expert figure on virtually any topic in any community -- social or professional -- by going from the same type of method a brand-new parent faces.

You dive in and begin working at a level you believe is over your head, forcing yourself to extend and grow. 

You drill into yourself a perception that you can do the task. That mindset will take you to where you start seeing yourself as an authority. Over time people around you will see you as an authority figure.

Should you specialize in widget tuning, for example, you can teach individuals to think about you -- and just you -- anytime the topic of widget tuning pops up.

We won't be able to go into the actions in-depth here. First, however, you must create a mindset that YOU can do it.

[Certain] folks are gurus -- they are authorities in their fields, which is far better than being an expert. Due to their guru condition, they benefit from greater visibility and reputation than their peers, not to mention additional benefits like results, revenue, and wealth.

But they're not gurus because they are more gifted or profitable. They are not gurus because of their performance and track record. Instead, they received their guru status through publicity and self-promotion. Gurus can be fantastic at what they do! Gurus are great at selling and advertising themselves and the things they do."

But that's not the essential element in this blog, whether nuclear physics or widget tuning; your field has numerous superbly qualified experts but not many Gurus.

It must be clear, but if not, could you let me spell it out? To become an expert in your field, you study your craft and become a master in your area. However, suppose you yearn to be a visible spokesman, an authority, or a Guru figure within your industry. In that case, you will have to research and perform other skills far more significant than being an expert.

These include:

• Writing articles
• Writing books
• Selling and producing info products
• Publishing a newsletter or perhaps ezine
• Making speeches
• Giving seminars
• Conducting a public associations campaign
• Using the Internet
• Achieve serious mass appeal, as well as
• Maintaining a guru status
• Develop a webinar
• Create a blog
• Host a podcast

You will discover that many of these avenues include information and words to market your credibility, accessibility, and visibility.

These tips entail building and keeping your momentum through a steady program, in a word, persistence. So you take these new skills and dive in, start doing them, even if it feels like you're over your head, like the new parent feeling. No matter how you think,  keep on doing them.

Nevertheless, when we consider the process of becoming an authority figure or Guru and bust it down into logical actions, it is more complex than we think. It is different from the job you are doing to become an expert. 

Cultivating public awareness and visibility is just plain old marketing! Marketing ourselves as a name brand image is what it takes to be a Guru. 

You are beginning to get the picture. Marketing ourselves and getting recognized and preferred over others is cash in the bank account.

Which do you believe will cost more, a costume from Discount Warehouse or perhaps one bearing a custom label from a retail store in Paris?

Today, there is absolutely nothing wrong with shopping at Discount Warehouse, but there is also absolutely nothing wrong with shopping at luxury stores.

And it's good to have an option. But if you think about making yourself a brand or an authority figure, you do not have a choice. It is Luxury Paris or nothing.

You know what? Discount Warehouse is where the majority of the competition is. You will discover millions of discount warehouses selling everything you sell.

If you wish to quit competing with other people and instead allow them to be concerned about fighting with you, think about making yourself known to everyone in your market as a Guru. 

Create visibility and become an established authority, a spokesperson, and possibly even a guru. Next, rather than chase customers, the game changes, and consumers come searching for you.

It looks like a great way to live.

Have a Hustle Culture Day!
