>>How does such a person go about getting the reputation of a "guru"?
>>I'd very much like to be a quantum physics guru, and am looking for

>Yes:
>1. Pick a field nobody is interested in
1a. Get a doctorate in it.
1b. Do post-doctoral research in it

>2. Have strong opinions, but that are still common sense
2a. Be a *lot* more facilitative with paying clients:

>6. When the field suddenly gets popular, start giving speeches at
>conferences, voice even more opinions strongly, and start your own
>consultancy. Make sure you charge a lot.
6a. Don't average out how much you charge now against all the years in
obscurity as it won't be all that much.
Cheers
Martin
