Having a mentor to call upon can help you and your business in several ways, including;
#1: Life Experience
You can read all the books you want and get all the education you need, but that’s not going to prepare you for real life situations that may arise. Nothing is tailor made and life is unpredictable.
You can talk to a mentor about any issues you might be facing, adding in any relevant details. He or she will be able to determine a solution based on their real life experiences. You will be able to use their insight to solve problems more efficiently in the future.
#2: Connections & Opportunities
A mentor can give you more than just advice. If you show your mentor you are taking what they’re saying to heart and developing in a positive way, they may have connections that can help you move forward in your career and open up future opportunities.
#3: Self Confidence
Self confidence is very important in the business world. It will help you make better decisions and also help you to appear more professional to your customers and competitors.
A mentor will reassure you, helping to build your level of self confidence. They will listen to your concerns and let you know that what your feeling is normal, based on their own professional experience.
They will help you to see challenges as an opportunity to grow stronger, and learn valuable life lessons.
#4: Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
If you’re in business, it isn’t just about being book smart and understanding finances. Your emotional intelligence will let you know how to react in certain situations, reading other people’s signals and reacting to them appropriately. Having a high EQ is one of the most important characteristics you can have when it comes to being successful in the business world.
It is almost impossible to learn emotional intelligence by reading a book or even through classroom learning, but a mentor can aid you in developing this valuable trait, helping to ensure business success in the future.
#5: Encouragement
A mentor will be there to encourage you. When starting out in the business world, many new entrepreneurs become discouraged and depressed by failure. Some lose the will to go on as a result.
During these times, a mentor can give you the reassurance you need. Every successful business person has experienced failure and their experience can help guide you through difficult times
My 7-Figure Mentors & Coaches
After many years following the wrong kind advice from the wrong mentors, I now get regular coaching and mentorship from experts who:
=> Have made multiple 7 figures online
=> Are world class marketers and entrepreneurs
=> Have gone through many failures before learning ‘what really works’
=> Have taught thousands of people how to become successful
Failure is inevitable. There’s a famous quote “the fastest path to success is to triple your rate of failure”… but if you keep failing because you’re following bad advice, then you will never find success
You will achieve your goals and dreams much faster with the right coach or mentor
