BiG Tips: Many private and government people and organisations offer coaching and mentoring in leadership, business, marketing, social media and more. Beware of some expensive programs that promise a lot, but deliver little, apart from group hype, group think and little useful support. The lists of finance, success and motivational books, CDs, websites, experts and gurus are endless. You’ll find many scattered throughout the ‘gurus’ in BiG’s Guru lists Business, Wealth creation, Property, Shares and personal development (investing in You).
You’ll find the good, the bad and the ugly in Analysts and Commentators (eg in money and investing groups and forums, in the BiG Directory and in Guru Cops.
Amazon, Penguin Random House and others have loads of coaches, mentors and inspirational writers too.
Here are some gurus and books on success and motivation for you to check out:
