Know what they all had in common?
They each had at least one mentor in their lives who guided them to their path of greatness.
It is often said that “success leaves clues.”
And if the highest achievers in all areas of life have had a mentor to guide them, then I’d say that’s as loud and clear of a clue as we can get!
3 Game Changing Reasons
Why Getting A Mentor Will Pave Your
Path To Success
Game-Changing Reason #1
To Get A Mentor
Not to get all cliché on you, but…
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” -- Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher
Your mentor will point you in the right direction and get you started.
Often, you know what end result you want, but you don’t know how to get there. Or maybe you have a rough idea, but don’t know the specific steps.
Well, there’s no step more important than the first one, and your mentor can help you break down your goals and show you where and how to begin.
It’s easy to preach “take action, take action!” And it is important to be in action.
But your mentor can show you what actions to take when, and that can make all the difference.
Your mentor will point
you in the right
direction and get you started.
Your mentor will help
you overcome the
obstacles and solve
the problems that
you’re going to face.
Game-Changing Reason #2
To Get A Mentor
Your mentor will help you overcome the obstacles and solve the problems that you’re going to face.
To put it another way, your mentor has “been there, done that.” And that, my friend, is invaluable.
Here’s a harsh truth of trying to do it alone that people don’t like to talk about.
People who don’t have a mentor are fragile.
They may be able to achieve some small or temporary success on their own, but when the going gets tough (and it will), those without a mentor often are unable to recover.
The slightest setback can become a knockout blow.
And what’s worse is they end up sad, bitter, and convinced that whatever they were going for “didn’t work.”
When the reality is that all they needed was someone who’s walked in their path to guide them and pick them up.
Put simply, a mentor stacks the odds in your favor, and not having one makes things way more difficult than they need to be.
Game-Changing Reason #3
To Get A Mentor
“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”
Another cliché, perhaps, but so, so true.
And here’s the cool thing about that.
Your mentor will open up his or her rolodex to you, introducing you to incredible people you otherwise never would have found. And that can make all the difference in the world.
What we’ve been building towards this entire time is the fact that just about no one achieves anything of significance alone. And that’s true for your mentor, too.
But the good news is that he or she practices what he preaches, and is full of valuable contacts that he’ll introduce his students to.
Contacts that can open doors for you that otherwise would have remained shut.
Your mentor will open up
his or her rolodex
to you.
How To Avoid The Single Biggest
Mistake You Can Make In
Choosing Your Mentor
This may seem obvious, but the number one mistake you can make is not choosing a mentor who has already walked the path you want to walk.
You want a mentor who has climbed the mountain you want to climb.
Navigated the waters you’ll have to navigate.
A mentor who has already been where you’re going.
Or better yet, is there right now. Someone who drinks from the glass of freedom that you crave to taste.
“Inspiration is a tool and a
trap. If you're going to be
inspired by anyone, be inspired
by people who have been
exactly where you are now.”
– Douglas Copeland
In other words, if you want better nutrition, choose a mentor who is an expert in nutrition, not finance.
And if you know you gravitate towards a certain way of eating? Drill down deeper and choose a mentor who is an expert in that particular diet.
A more relevant example?
Let’s say your goal is to have your Ultimate Freedom Lifestyle.
To be where you want, when you want, with the income you want – for the rest of your life.
If that’s the case, I might just know a mentor who’s a good match for you 😉
All jokes aside though, I hope it’s now clear why you need a mentor, what a good mentor can do for you, and how to choose the right one.
And when you combine getting a mentor with the last part of the 5M Formula which I’m about to reveal?
It is an incredibly powerful combination that makes your success and freedom almost inevitable.
