Dear Soon-to-Be Famous Friend:
The average entrepreneur or self-employed professional works like heck just to make a good living ... and has to sell tirelessly to generate enough business to keep his or her cash flow steady.
But Rachel Ray earns $15 million a year... and she never has to go out and sell herself: she has people waiting in line, bombarding her with offers - for TV shows, speeches, books, and business deals of all sorts.
What's the reason why Rachel Ray has it so much easier than the rest of us?
It's simple...
Rachel Ray is a recognized guru in her field (which happens to be cooking) ... and most of us are not.
You know that in every market niche, industry, or human endeavor, most participants are running in the middle of the pack.
They make a decent living - but it isn't easy. They work hard to attract the opportunities, contracts, and customers they need. It never seems to come easy.
But also in every area, there are a few people who don't struggle like that ... because they are recognized as the leading experts or "gurus" in their field.
And you know who they are...
In business management, it's Peter Drucker or Tom Peters.
In relationships, it's Dr. Phil.
In sex, it's Dr. Ruth.
In advertising, it's Donny Deutsch.
In cooking, it's Rachel Ray or Emeril LaGasse. (Can you say "bam!"?)
In alternative medicine, it's Dr. Andrew Weil ... who recently made the cover of Time magazine.
In home entertaining, whether you like her or not, it's Martha Stewart.
And so on, and so on.
You also know that, because of their status, these gurus are absolutely at the top of their profession - in demand for their product or service, status, prestige, and income.
But here's one thing you may not know about these and other mega-star gurus...
The simple "Become an Instant Guru"
formula that made Rachel Ray,
Martha Stewart, and Dr. Weil rich and famous
All of the gurus I've named are probably NOT the best in their field ... not the most expert ... not the most successful.
Alan Dershowitz does NOT have the best record of any trial attorney in the United States. Far from it.
Peter Drucker is NOT the best corporate manager in the world ... in fact, he has never been CEO of a major Fortune 500 firm!
The reason that these people are gurus ... famous in their fields, sought after by millions ... is that most of them are the best at promoting themselves as experts in what they do ... not in actually doing it.
They all, to one degree or another, used basically the same fundamental formula ... I call it the "Become an Instant Guru System" ... that I teach you in my new program.
Just follow the 10 simple steps I outline, and within 90 days, people in your market will begin to know your name ... view you as an authority in your field ... and start asking you, in record numbers, to take them on as customers or clients.
That means no more expensive advertising ... no distasteful door to door selling ... no dialing the phone to cold call ... no "begging" for business ... no more low-balling your price just to close a sale.
Remember, it is always better to get potential customers to come to you rather than you going to them. And when you Become an Instant Guru, that's precisely what happens!
Becoming an instant guru in your
field - once difficult, now easy!
In my best-selling program, Become an Instant Guru, I share with you proven, utterly pragmatic methods you can use to quickly and easily become the recognized authority in your field ... starting in as little as 90 days!
By following my simple methods - which I GUARANTEE that you can duplicate with ease - you can get your phone ringing off the hook with inquiries, orders, leads, and new business ... more projects and assignments than you could ever hope to handle.
In Become an Instant Guru, you'll discover:
Why every entrepreneur, corporate employee, and professional should establish themselves as a guru in their field ... and why you are losing thousands of dollars by not doing so.
The "Rule of 90/10" ... and how it enables you to become the top guru in your field, leapfrogging ahead of competitors who may have much more knowledge and experience than you do.
How to gain a sustainable competitive advantage in your marketplace that your competitors will never be able to topple or destroy.
Finding your "micro-niche" ... how to unearth a market segment or specialty where you can stake your claim to absolute authority.
How often must you contact your target market to position yourself as a recognized authority in their minds? The Rule of Seven.
10 steps to becoming a recognized expert in your field. Even if you just do step one and nothing else, you'll be twice as famous as you are right now. Do all 10, and you'll barely be able to handle the flood of new business that comes your way.
The 4 phases of "guru-ship" ... and how to manage your swift, smooth progression up this 4-step ladder on the way to fame and fortune.
"Cheating" the system. The one thing you can do to become a top guru in your field in record time ... and bypass the 10 other steps. This one isn't so easy. But when it happens, it can make you rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
What Mike Hammer and Tom Peters can teach you about inventing your own category or niche for guru status.
Why every would-be guru should be writing articles ... the best types of articles to write ... where to place them ... how to get published.
Double the marketing effectiveness of every article you write. Get FREE ad space in magazines reaching your target audience.
Why you MUST write a book if you want to become a guru in your field ... and how to sell it to a major publishing house for a five-figure advance.
Self-publishing options: vanity presses ... short-run book printers ... Printing on Demand (POD) ... downloadable PDF e-books.
The "edu-marketing" approach to establishing yourself as a recognized expert ... and how to accelerate your rise to prominence with "information products."
How to create your own "guru Web site" ... and get it up and running online for only a few hundred dollars or less.
Write and distribute your own "e-zine." Takes less than 2 hours a month, and it's the most powerful online marketing you can ever do.
Automating your "keep in touch" system for keeping your name in front of your prospects and customers.
What best-selling "Spenser" novelist Robert B. Parker can teach you about promoting yourself by giving speeches.
Want to become instantly respected as a leading authority in your field? Become a "college professor" ... without getting your Ph.D. or joining a university faculty.
Promote yourself and your business with public seminars - and make thousands of dollars from each event.
How the man who became famous for selling the Brooklyn Bridge can help you become a celebrity in your field.
How to get major media coverage - even on network television - without holding a press conference.
Setting off a critical-mass "chain reaction" that exponentially sends your lead flow, orders, and sales into the stratosphere.
Why you can never stop promoting yourself ... even after you have attained "guru status."
And so much more....

The big Become an Instant Guru manual normally sells for $97. But a downloadable PDF copy is yours FREE - in minutes -- when you order the companion audio program today. Just click below to get started:
My friend, Eric Y., is co-founder and partner in one of New York's best and most prestigious public relations agencies.
He has routinely converted many ordinary people into gurus and celebrities through some of the same self-promotion techniques I reveal in Become an Instant Guru.
You could hire Eric and his PR firm to turn you into a guru. But it won't be cheap: his minimum monthly retainer is around $12,000, with a 3-month minimum contract.
And even then, there's no guarantee of success. Should you not get the results you want, there's no refund ... and your 36 grand is down the toilet.
Now, if you and I were to work together, and you paid ME to implement the "Become an Instant Guru" system for you, I charge less than Eric's agency ... but it's still expensive.
My consulting fee is $500 an hour with a $10,000 nonrefundable retainer paid up front, in advance.
That's IF you could hire me ... which is unlikely ... because I'm not taking on new consulting clients any more.
But it won't cost you $36,000 or even $10,000 to become a leading authority in your field ... a recognized expert.
That's because my Become an Instant Guru home-study audio learning system is available for just $77 - a $20 discount off the list price of $97.
You get the best of my quarter of a century of accumulated experience and tested methods in PR, marketing, and self-promotion ... for less than I charge clients for just 15 minutes of my time.
You also get my companion e-book to the audio program, the 236-page Become an Instant Guru manual (cover price: $97) - an earlier edition of which has been offered on Amazon for as much as $1,000 - absolutely FREE!
If you know business, you know that's a great deal.
And unlike my friend Eric Y. and his PR firm, I DO guarantee your results with my Become an Instant Guru system.
Because you can....
Use it risk-free for 90 days
That's right. If, after reviewing Become an Instant Guru, you don't agree that my self-promotion strategies are rapidly making you more famous, respected, and in demand in your niche or market ....
Or you are not 100% satisfied for any reason ... or for no reason at all ... just return all the CDs to me within 90 days and bonus materials.
I'll refund your payment in full. No questions asked. That way, you risk nothing.
So, what are you waiting for? In 90 days, you could be no closer to your dream of being a recognized guru in your field than you are right now.
Or you could be on track to leaving your competitors in the dust.
It's entirely up to you.
To order Become an Instant Guru on a 90-day risk-free trial basis, click below now:
P.S. Remember, the Instant Guru audio program now comes with a companion manual - the 236-page e-book Become an Instant Guru (list price: $97) - that's yours absolutely FREE when you order now.
