THE STORY OF THE GURUS SELLING SYSTEM
In order to understand the creation of The GURUS Selling System, it is important to know the story of Erik Luhrs.
In late 2000, after ten years of working for several large corporations in the New York City area, Erik Luhrs found himself being fired from his job…because he did it too well. As he was escorted out of the building by two armed guards, carrying two heavy boxes filled with whatever he could throw in them in the 5 minutes he was given to clean out his office, Erik realized that being an employee is the least powerful position to be in. At that moment he swore he’d never work for anyone again.

Scripture
Proverbs 11-26 People curse the one who hoards grain, but they pray God’s blessing on the one who is willing to sell.
Mathew 13 3-8 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
