The Problem with Self-Help Gurus

There is only one problem with self-help gurus.  They tend to be charismatic, outgoing, people with boundless energy, above average intellect, endless reserves of personal courage, the ability to network easily, and amazing communications skills.  It's actually no surprise when they succeed.  When you look around the world for people to emulate, try to find someone who succeeded using skills that you have or can develop.  If you are Oprah Winfrey, don't try to be Donald Trump.  If you aren't Steven Hawkings, perhaps you are J.K. Rowling.  Donald Trump's "Kicking Ass" is much different than Dale Carnegie's winning friends.  Read several gurus and then find your own path . . .
