I would say mostly feeling overwhelmed due to lack of time and maybe knowledge. The self-doubt that I'll even be able to implement whatever it is that the particular product is promoting.

And it wasn't so much that I follow them around at events, but more so that I buy everything they recommend because I figure if they, who I look up to so much, recommends it then it must be worth it. The problem is, 9 times out of 10, I then don't do anything with it. :( Great question! I can admit I’ve had it, but I wouldn’t say I necessarily qualify for any of the points except maybe #2.

Yes most people simply hate the word 'guru' and real GURUS based on hate and envy. I think it is nothing but failure mentality. Lynn I agree with you on these points.

When I'm feeling negative, it's usually when certain people give me the feeling they really aren't as successful as they pretend to be. I can't say I never feel envious of successful people, but I'm also conscious there's a learning curve I need to get past, and that very successful people NEVER get there overnight - in my humble opinion, anyway.

I've suffered with it to some degree in the past. Not the hateful bashing or not buying products...etc...but simply feeling sorry for myself. Like you mentioned stop watching and start doing. If you occupy yourself with building your own empire you won't have the same amount of time to just sit around and feel sorry bad about somebody else's success. Great post as always! Oh so true.

You look at someone who is where you want to be - and you see that you have a lot in common with them - so you spot their faults (your faults) and almost can't resist taking shots at them. You think: 'They're nothing special' (you're nothing special) 'They're not so smart' (you're not that smart) 'They haven't accomplished anything great' (y0u haven't accomplished anything great) The underlying thoughts are all about you and can probably be traced back to the messages you heard a lot when you were young. If you have strong self esteem and believe in yourself, it won't bother you to see someone like you succeeding. Deep huh? Lynn you've got the solution right in this post. Shake off the negative self talk and DO something. I came face to face with my own guru envy years ago… it has a root in self-doubt and low self esteem.
