Review
of: Become an Instant Guru, by Bob Bly
Review by: Nick Usborne
This is a 7-CD set filled with great advice from Bob Bly, one of
the most experienced and respected freelancers in the world.
Can it really show you how to become an instant guru?
Maybe the word instant is a little bit of an over-promise.
But this CD set does include all the
advice and tips youll need to establish yourself as a recognized
guru in your field, and make a LOT more money as a result.
Who should buy it? Anyone who is freelancing or consulting.
Its a guide to establishing YOU as someone clients
will actively seek out because of your status and reputation.
An easy format to fit with your daily schedule...
First, a word about the format. There are no printed materials,
just 7 CDs you can play on your computer or in your car.
I like the format. You get hour after hour of Bob being interviewed
and sharing the best of his experiences over the last 25 years.
There is a clear structure being followed, with Bob building one
step on top of the last. What I like best about the interview style
is that you always get a little extra. When someone starts talking,
especially in response to good questions, there are always additional
thoughts that pop out.
These extra insights often dont find their way onto the pages
of a printed book.
A key insight you should never forget...
Bob makes a very important point early on in the program.
He talks about a simple truth in the world of freelancing and consulting...
to become a guru you dont have to be the best at what you
do. But you do have to position and market yourself better than
anyone else.
I have seen this over and over again.
I know copywriters and designers of
enormous talent who never earn as much as they deserve.
Why not?
Because they havent marketed themselves
well, and have not established themselves as respected gurus.
On the other hand, I know people with less natural talent who have
made fortunes.
That doesnt mean you shouldnt work to be the best you
can at what you do. It simply means that being good at your work
is just half of the equation.
The other half is to promote your personal brand and establish
yourself as a guru.
Some of what youll learn...
Bob outlines 10 steps to becoming an instant guru.
He talks about all the ways to get your name known and respected...like
writing articles, speaking in public and writing a book.
But thats just part of it.
He doesnt just tell you WHAT to do, but also shares invaluable
tips on HOW TO do it.
If you are looking for ways to really establish the brand of YOU...and
start making a lot more money for the work you do, I can highly
recommend this program.
Its not expensive, and it comes with a 90-day money back
guarantee. So you have a full three months to see if it works and
is worth the money.
