Keys to rapid success – Having a mentor
Posted on 07. Jul, 2009 by Mike in Action Items
In an effort to excel in as many areas of my life as I can, I’m getting a LOT better at separating the good from the garbage. It’s not always an easy task as garbage can be packaged in some very eye catching ways to make you believe it’s good.
Something that popped into my mind a while back was that this Internet Marketing journey could be sped up greatly if I was able to find a good mentor. A good mentor (by my definition anyway) must have at least these qualifications:
1) Have achieved a high level of success themselves
2) Be willing to teach and not just sell me something
3) Display traits that I admire (organization, able to systemize, driven)
4) realize the value that I will be able to give back to them
At long last, I think I have found that mentor. Now, I have been given a hand by MANY people in the past and I’m very grateful to each and every one of them.
The thing is, I am in a spot in my life where I really need to excel and FAST in order to keep a roof over my head and my family fed. That said, I needed a person who wouldn’t waste time splitting hairs with crap like “well, I’d help you but you ave nothing to give me…”
The mentor I’ve found is way smarter than that, He sees that I can be trained in many areas to do things the way he likes them. So, he gets some tasks done that he hasn’t got time to mess with and I get a quality education that I can put into practice IMMEDIATELY which should turn into traffic and earnings.
Needless to say, I am working VERY hard to impress this person and intend to far exceed his expectations. When all is said and done, I’ll have built another great relationship, I’ll promote his products (which actually won’t be hard because they are top quality) and any other high end marketer that wouldn’t give me the time of day will have missed out on a great opportunity.
Let’s have a go!
