Why Following the Big Gurus Doesn’t Always Lead to Deeper Transformation — and What to Do Instead

That Moment You’ve Read All the Books… and You’re Still Searching

You know that moment when you’re standing in a bookshop, staring at an entire wall of self-help books, thinking…

“I’ve read half of these, and yet, here I am, still searching.”

That was Simone.

She’s a coach herself. She’s been around the block. She’d followed the “big gurus” — the ones with the slick branding, the endless Instagram Reels, the stories that make you want to believe you’re one credit card swipe away from reinvention.

But here’s the thing:
None of it landed.
Not enough to make her commit. Not enough to make her feel like this was the deep soul work she was looking for.

Meet Simone: Dr in Neuroscience, Coach, and Author

Simone wasn’t just into personal development — she’s devoted her life to it.

She’s a Dr in Neuroscience, a highly successful coach, and the author of The Ultimate Brain Hacks: Unlock Your Mind. Return to Your Authentic Self. Transform Your Life.

She’s helped thousands of people unlock their potential. She’s studied the mind inside out. She knows all the tools, all the theories, all the strategies.

And yet — she was still searching for that next level of deep, soul-aligned transformation.

Simone wasn’t new to personal development. She didn’t need hype. She needed substance. She needed someone who could speak her language, but also bring a whole different dimension to the conversation.

The Problem with Big Gurus (And It’s Not What You Think)

I’m not here to bash the big names. Some of them are brilliant.

But here’s the gap Simone — and so many people like her — kept running into:

• They’re often teaching from a stage, not from a conversation.

• They’re delivering to the masses, not to you.

• And while the inspiration is sky-high, the integration? Often… missing.

It’s like watching a cooking show when you’re hungry. Everything looks amazing, but you can’t actually eat it.

Simone didn’t want more information. She wanted transformation.

How Simone Found It (Spoiler: It Started in a 5-Day Challenge)

We met at a business conference earlier this year. She came to a short session I was running, and something clicked.

She told me later she thought,

“Your methodology aligns with mine as a coach… but you also speak a different language — and have life experience I can learn from.”

That spark of recognition? That’s alignment.
When you feel it, you know it.

So Simone joined my Soul Goal Mapping Challenge — just five days.

Five days of clarity, breakthroughs, and connecting dots she’d been trying to line up for years.

And in her words:

“The shifts I experienced in those 5 days were like the missing pieces I’d been searching for… and they opened a door for me.”

The Door to Deeper Work

After her breakthroughs in the Soul Goal Mapping Challenge, Simone knew her next step was The Awakened Soul Program.

She dissolved old patterns.
She deepened her soul and nervous system safety.

And she had one of her biggest realisations:

“Bringing my whole self into the room is enough — and that alone is my soul essence.”

Now? She’s living with more ease, alignment, and joy. She’s vibrating at a higher frequency. And she’s calling in opportunities that feel effortless — because they’re in alignment.

What This Means for You

If you’ve been following the big names and still feel like you’re missing something… you probably are.

And it’s not more content.
It’s more connection.

It’s a space where someone sees the patterns you can’t see for yourself, reflects them back, and gives you the tools to shift them.

It’s where transformation isn’t just about feeling inspired — it’s about integrating it into your daily reality.

That’s what the VIP Soul Goal Mapping Challenge is designed to do.

Five days.
Focused.
Personalised.
Life-shifting.

Final Thought

The “big guru” stage is exciting. But if you want transformation that actually lands, sometimes the real magic happens in a smaller room… where you get to be seen, heard, and guided into your next chapter.
