A Personal Mentor Is Only A Phone Call Away

A friend sees you as you are, and does not try to change you, but a mentor loves you too much to let you stay the same.
When my husband had a heart attack in 1998, the first calls I made were to our mentors. I knew they would pray for us, and help us make important decisions.
I actually went to a leadership training seminar the day after his heart attack. I figured I could sit and cry all alone all day or at the hospital, or I could go to the seminar and stay focused on what I needed to do, since I would be the only one making money for awhile. It helped to be around my mentors and people that loved us. After the seminar, several people went with me to the hospital and hung out with me.
We have been through some pretty severe financial struggles and we could always count on sound advice from our mentors. We could also count on them telling us to get off the bench and get on the team. They don't mince words.
We could either look at all that went wrong with our life, or get back on track with their help. One thing they never did was join our pity party. They always got us refocused on our dreams. They never felt sorry for us and paid for our next seminar, but we knew they were expecting us to be there. We did what it took to never miss anything, even when we were short on income. They didn't take our excuses and we don't take other's excuses.

You Can't Work Hard Enough to Overcome a Negative Attitude

You can't work hard enough to overcome a negative attitude. No matter how hard you try, you can not maintain a positive attitude if you are constantly hanging around people with a negative attitude.
I personally had to quit hanging around my family and friends as much as I was, because I was constantly being told I was a dreamer and I live in a fantasy world, etc. I heard the negative from them on a constant basis, and I could not wait to get to a weekly workshop or a monthly seminar with like-minded people to get around my mentors.
It has been said that if you list the incomes of the 5 people you associate with and average them together, you will be able to figure out how much your income is.
Personally, I would like to hang around 5 millionaire mentors on a consistent basis, because they think differently than me, and I would not mind having their income, either. When I am around my mentors, they encourage me and help me raise the bar. They tell me I can have whatever I want in life if I am willing to help other people. I have several mentors that are millionaires. I am learning from the best in all areas of my life.
I have different personal mentors for leadership development and community building, for spiritual growth, and for internet marketing and mentoring.
You can't rely on one personal mentor because you need an expert in a certain area of your life that you are trying to improve.
Whatever you do, get a personal mentor that encourages you and has a great smile! A positive attitude goes a long way. As I said before, you can't work hard enough to overcome a negative attitude! Keep positive people foremost in your lives!
The sky is the limit. I have super-sized dreams because my mentors have super-sized leadership and coaching ability.
Sorry, but I can't afford to hang out with the 95% crowd any longer. I need the constant positive energy from my mentors.

What Happens When You Miss a Leadership Seminar?

When you miss a seminar, you will never know what you missed.

When you miss a seminar, you will never know what you missed.
Miss the first seminar, you have a cold.
Miss the second seminar, you have pneumonia.
Miss the third, you're dead.
You probably will have lost all interest by then.
No matter how fired up you are about your dreams and goals, this formula holds true.
A good example is from personal experience.
When our football superstar son went to college, we made a commitment that we would never miss a football game. Up until that point in our lives, we never missed a monthly seminar with our leadership development team for any reason.
Of course, college football starts in September, so we missed September, October, and November. Then my husband wanted to go deer hunting with the boys, so he missed December.
Fortunately, for us there was a large leadership seminar in January, where we could get fired up and refocused on our goals and dreams. We attended all the seminars until September, and restarted again at another January seminar.
We did this for 4 years. By the end of the 4 years, we were not as committed as we should have been. Since we missed so many seminars, it was easier to make excuses to miss more. Also, we had a harder time getting people on our team to the seminars, because we were not going to them.
We will never know how much it cost our business growth because we missed the seminars. However, if I had it to do over again, I still would have missed all the seminars to be able to watch my son play college football. They grow up so fast. At least I have those memories.
Unfortunately we did miss midget baseball and football games, high school football games and track events, and even state track events. We do regret that, and if we had it to do over we would not have missed anything that was important to our kids.They grow up too fast. Having said all that, I still encourage everyone to get to whatever seminars they can. Keep things in perspective. I don't think a t-ball game is as important as a college football game that your son spent his whole life striving to become the best athlete possible.
We are so proud of both of our children and their families. Unfortunately children spell Love as T-I-M-E. Our kids did not feel they got enough of our time, and they are right.
When I missed the seminars, I missed the seminars. I sat at football games wondering what I was missing. I wondered what I might have heard that could have moved us forward in our businesses. I missed the crowd of excited people all heading in the same direction. I don't know if I missed that "one thing" that I needed to hear, but at least I did not miss the final four seasons of my son's football career. He was an exceptional athlete, and expecting to go to the NFL, but he hurt his knee playing basketball 1 month before try-outs.
His dream of being a football player is over, but I still have the rest of my life to become the best person I can be and help others to do the same. I am back on track and more fired up than ever about our leadership team. I never plan to miss another miss a seminar, but emergencies do come up. As far as other people, we can empathize with people and let them know how we would decide what to do, but they will have to make their own decisions.

Why You Should Have A Personal Mentor And How To Choose One

If you want to avoid making some serious mistakes you need to have a personal mentor that has been there, done that! I have made so many decisions on my own before I had a mentor that cost me millions of dollars over the years.
My husband and I have been personally coached and mentored by several very successful entrepreneurs since we got involved in a personal development and leadership program in 1991. We have been given homework assignments, goals to wok towards, financial advice, books to read, advice to build out network business and even marriage counseling.
Now I am being mentored by my internet marketing coach as well. He is a very successful online entrepreneur and he astounds me with all the information he is teaching me. I have learned more from him in a few months than I learned studying internet marketing guru courses for several years. We also have spiritual mentors as well that pray with us and we also counsel with them about marriage, life, spiritual growth, etc.
It is imperative to have a mentor to bounce off ideas or to ask their advice before you make decisions. However, you need to make sure they are qualified to mentor you. For example, I would not take financial advice from a broke person. We are mentored by millionaires that have the proven expertise to create wealth.
If I was going to get a fitness trainer or a weight loss coach, I would not hire someone overweight or out of shape. I would want to get my advice from someone who has already accomplished what I am paying them to teach me to do.
You need to make sure you like the person and will be willing to listen to them. Before I agree to mentor anyone I want to know they are serious about changing their situation. Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. I want to make sure my clients are going to get results. If they won't take action they won't get results.

Why You Should Take Your Mentor To Lunch

If you want to be successful, you must take advice from people that are where you want to be in life. We have different personal mentors for different areas of our life. We appreciate them and do not waste their time because we know they are busy people. They are making enough passive residual income from their businesses that they wouldn't have to help us, but they want to.
We will make time for our mentors at their convenience. If we are meeting them for a meal somewhere we normally will pick up the check. Why would we do that? They obviously have a bigger wad of cash in their pocket than we live on a month, but we appreciate their time and their advice.
I once heard a millionaire say if he lost everything he would find the richest person he knows and take him to lunch and pay for his meal. The self-made millionaires have a wealth of knowledge they can share with you. They have developed a different way to think than the poverty thinking. If you don't learn to think differently, you will stay broke.
You may have heard "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." It is true because the rich have different habits and different thinking. All the successful people I know value their time more than a broke person. Most of them do not watch TV, read the news, etc. They put their time to better use. One of my mentors said if something bad happens, there will be plenty of people that will let him know.
The rich successful self-made millionaires have personal mentors that make more money than they do. If they need a mentor for a certain area in their life, they hire the best. It cuts the learning curve if you learn from someone who excels in the area you want to learn in.
So if you want to learn from a rich man, take him to lunch. Always take a notebook or tablet with you. Take notes!

Respect Your Mentor and Earn Their Respect

Get on your mentors schedule whenever possible!

We have several different personal mentors for different areas of our lives. With our personal development and leadership business, we counsel with our mentors on a regular basis. The information is invaluable and helps us make decisions that will take our business to the next level.
We have counseled with our leadership mentors on airplanes and cruise ships, on buses, at diners, in their homes and vacation homes and at our home. We have met before or after monthly leadership seminars, and sometimes even during a quick break. We have also counseled with them by phone if we could not get together in person.
We have had the privilege to dine with our mentors on several special occasions. We have great memories of special times celebrating many anniversaries. It is great having a nice meal in a relaxing atmosphere talking to our mentors about our business and personal lives.
They care about us and we love and respect them. They don't just give their time away. Sometimes you have to earn it. If we wouldn't have qualified for some of the trips and promotions that they ran, we would have missed valuable counseling time with our mentors.
They are where we want to be, and it stands to reason that if we take their advice and apply it, we will be able to have what they have. Always get to any seminars or workshops that you possibly can. If your mentor is running a promotion, qualify for it, so you can spend quality time with them. We always go to every leadership seminar which is available to us.

A Mentor Helps You Stay Focused

If you are accountable to a mentor you will get more done.

A personal Mentor helps you stay focused. One nice thing about counseling with a mentor on a weekly or a monthly basis is you will be accountable to someone on a regular basis. If you are accountable to a mentor you will get more done.
They will help you set goals and then map out a plan to hit those goals. You will have to tell them what you are going to do. Then they will say that's great, but what will you really do? Then you make a more realistic goal of what you will do.
If you know that you are going to have to tell them what you actually got done when you see them again, you will strive to get more done. Even, if you let a whole month go by, you will try to get it done the week before you are going to be counseling with them.
I find it is easier to get people to do things if we meet with them on a weekly basis and give them smaller goals than if we meet on a monthly basis and give them larger goals. Sometimes getting them to commit to something on a daily basis is even better, especially if they have trouble staying focused.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I don't plan to eat an elephant, but many times projects seem like they are elephants. So you need to break them down into more reasonable pieces. Tell your mentor what those pieces are going to be and ask them to make you accountable.
If you are accountable to a mentor you will get more done.

Why Continuing Education Is Important

Why continuing education?
Would you go to a doctor, mechanic, or even a hairdresser that does not keep up on what's new in their field? I don't think so.
My sister is a hairdresser. She gets magazines and books all the time with the latest hairstyles and new techniques. She reads books all the time to improve her people skills, marketing, etc. She even gets DVDs sent to her monthly so she can watch the new haircuts being done.
She does not look at the expense. She considers everything an investment. An investment in herself and in her business. She said one haircut or one new customer will more than pay for a CD or DVD, or even a book.
I consider the personal development and leadership program we are involved in the best investment I can possibly make in myself. I also get CDs and other books every month for spiritual growth from other sources.
I grab up all the great books at yard sales that I can find that are on our top 50 book list or a book that I've already read that helped me. I loan a good book to someone who needs it and when they bring it back they ask for another one that I would recommend.
I'm learning all the time and it doesn't cost me a lot. Look at the price of college tuition or even 1 textbook.
I never went to college, but I tell people I am attending Leadership University whenever I want to. All I have to do is put in a cd and I'm there! I always have a CD playing in the kitchen first thing in the morning and every time I am in the kitchen.
Whenever I am in the car I turn my car into a rolling university on wheels by putting a CD. How much commuting time do you have everyday? Turn off the radio and put in a great CD by a proven leader or motivational speaker. You might just hear something that will make a difference in your life that day.
2 CDs a day will help keep the negative attitude away.
