What’s a Guru?

The name “Guru”  refers to a spiritual leader but we now apply the title to any successful person in a field of learning, business or education, to name a few.  For this discussion, when used,  Guru refers to enormously successful Internet marketers currently doing business on the Internet.

My intent is to determine the number one Internet Guru.     It would  be too easy to choose  our Guru by annual income  only so let’s raise the bar a bit.  Let us declare the  number one and most important criteria would be not what you have or earn but what you do to help others and the results of that help.   Was the help beneficial?

Too often we see images and videos of  “gurus” in their fancy cars or homes with images of checks.  The  restriction of possessions and income for Guru status is easy.  Anyone can submit pictures of possessions and not truly own those possessions.  My experience has been possession is much less impressive than accomplishment and the use of success.  So,  lets determine the  number one Internet “Guru” by the people’s choice based on our criteria.  To give you an example of  someone meeting our criteria for The People’s Choice  “Number One Guru Status”  let’s take a look at Joel Therien.

Joel Therien,  owner of Hot Conference and  Kiosk,  now  named GVO Conference and GVO Hosting,  is a successful Internet Marketer with a multi million dollar Internet business which was launched from his 800 square foot home in Canada about 5 yeas ago.  He quickly outgrew the available Canadian optical Internet system and moved his family and company to Texas two years ago where he built his present company building and installed an optical wiring and powerful state of the art servers  that  he needed to pursue his dream of doubling the company’s  income.

As a client of  both Kiosk and Hot Conference since the company’s  Canadian days I took note of the way Joel treats his clients.  We become a part of his family.  We are treated with love and respect.  We learn about the life that Joel leads, how well he treats his support staff, the love he has for his wife and children, how much he enjoys what he’s doing, how much he wants us to become successful in our business.  He provides the best tools for our use.  He allows us to become resellers of his company products.  He teaches us about doing business and keep us updated on his weekly blog.

Joel finally raised the bar for Internet Guru status by developing and opening a coaching program and giving away to each student the very same privately developed  software tool that he used to grow his business into a multimillion dollar company.  He raised the bar even further by allowing each student in his 3-month coaching program free entry into the program for one full year after their 3 months training  is over.   That includes the use of all newly developed tools and coaching for the full year!

What makes this so amazing is the cost of the coaching program: $249.00 one time payment! Joel could easily have charged a fee of $5,000.00, $10,000.00 as other Internet Gurus charge for their 3-day programs.

Joe’ s way of dealing with declined billing payments is to allow 4 attempts to collect the monthly fee before suspending a client’s account. And that 4 attempts is not 4 attempts in four days!

Which one of your gurus can compete with that?   Joel has raised the bar for Guru status.  Can anyone top that or come even close?  Greed is not part of  Joe’s  character which exudes kindness, love and service.   By the way, Joe’s clients include many of the Internet’s top gurus, like Mike Filsame, my second choice.  I’m sure Mike doesn’t mind running second to Joel, whom he knows better than I do, and would agree with my comments about Joel.

I’m asking you to help me discover the Internet’s top Guru and trust that you will contribute to this survey and its cause with a post electing your favorite Guru and why you believe that person  merits consideration.  In the final analysis it will be the people who determine the Internet’s number one Guru in a final vote after they have read all the submissions.  Collectively we can determine who that person is.

Thank you for visiting my blog and reading my post. I encourage you to participate in this survey to discover the  Number One Guru available to us  on the Internet.  Let’s make it fun!
