10 Powerful Lessons from My Business Guru: Insights from Sarah Cordiner
Let’s talk about gurus! We all have someone who inspires us and motivates us to do better, whether it’s in our personal lives or our professional ones. For me, it’s Sarah Cordiner, a course creation specialist whose methods and style have always resonated with me. Her energy is infectious, and I find myself returning to her advice time and time again. But what is it that makes a guru so important, and how can their lessons guide our everyday actions?
One of the biggest things I’ve learned from Sarah is the importance of persistence and resilience. In business, things are bound to get tough. There will be obstacles, failures, and days when it feels like nothing is going right. But as Sarah says, “Hard is PART of success.” It’s crucial to keep pushing forward, even when it’s the last thing you feel like doing. And as someone who has been in business, and nurtures others to grow their own businesses, Sarah’s discipline and commitment to showing up every single day is something I deeply admire.
Another key lesson I’ve learned from Sarah is the power of giving back. She’s a big believer in sharing knowledge and helping others, whether it’s by speaking at conferences, writing blogs, or giving away her best-kept secrets. And as she points out, “The most helpful person in the room will win the business.” It’s a lesson that applies to all aspects of life — the more you give, the more you get back.
Of course, there are many other things that Sarah has done to build her successful business, from networking to continuous learning to focusing on long-term impact over short-term vanity. But what I love most about Sarah is that she embodies the qualities of a great guru: energy, passion, and a willingness to share what she knows.
As a small business coach myself, I also aim to be someone who inspires and motivates my clients. I focus on creating a zero-judgment environment where my clients feel comfortable sharing their struggles and successes. I’m here to help with goal setting, accountability, brainstorming, and strategizing — but also just to have a good old yarn. Being a business owner can be lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. Having someone in your corner can make all the difference.
So, who is your guru? Whether it’s someone famous like Tony Robbins or a lesser-known expert in your field, take some time to reflect on the lessons they’ve taught you. And if you’re looking for someone to guide you on your business journey, I’m here to help. Just remember — there’s no perfect time, no perfect situation, no perfect circumstance. JUST START NOW.
