Now we hear a lot about Influencers but before beginning: What is an Influencer?
According to this article:
“Individuals who have the power to affect purchase decisions of others because of their (real or perceived) authority, knowledge, position, or relationship.”

For me they are people who guide me in my path to my dreams, I am inspired by their example and I can learn immensely from them.
Let´s say they are like a light in the, sometimes, long and dark tunnel toward realizing your dreams.
Anthony Robbins:
King of coachs.
Tremendously inspiring, his advices you can put them into practice immediately, his books, his passion, his enthusiasm. A force of nature.
More about Anthony Robbins:
“There is a powerful, driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed, can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality. -Anthony Robbins-
Victor Martin
I will continue with a Spanish one: Victor Martin, I never miss his very interesting podcasts, they are very instructive and thanks to them I get to know other great professionals from which I keep on learning.

When you are really committed to make something happen, how it will happen will come to you. -Víctor Martín-
Tim Ferriss.
I knew him already but it has only been until now that I’ve been listening to his incredible podcasts and read his blog : pure knowledge !
http://fourhourworkweek.com/podcast/
He is the author of the book The 4-Hour Workweek and it´s definitely on my list of books for this year.

«If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think. «Tim Ferriss.
Anxo Perez
Another Spanish influencer Anxo Perez. His happy happy energy and inspiring talks and events are a real energy boost.
Do not fight the storm. Just go through it (…) A bad day, a bad week, a bad month or a bad year. (…) Accept that is a period of storm, inadequate for growth. Be patient and go through that being confident that in a few days is going to be sunny again. Anxo Pérez.
Oprah Winfrey.
Well, Oprah Winfrey is more than an influencer, is a myth.

In times of urgent need of inspiration, her audios saved my life (I use to download her videos in mp3 so I could listen to them everywhere). Full of hope, elevation and wisdom.
Do the one thing you think you can not do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people Who Never tumble Those Who are never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. Oprah Winfrey
I focused on just a few influencers and only on those that relate to professional environments, as this is mostly the theme of this blog.
But there are many more, as you can imagine, and from other fields of interest.
Now, here you have an interesting list of Spanish women social media influencers:

and another one of 50 Online Marketing Influencers to Watch in 2016-50 Influencers of online marketing for 2016:

By listening to some of them I discovered “new” ones, as for example, by listening to Oprah Winfrey I got to know Anthony Robbins.
But a source of discovery of these and other influencers or people from whom you can learn a lot, is certainly the TEDx talks:
