A Millionaire Mentor - eveyone wants and needs to have a
mentor. But you need to know the only way that can happen
is for you to deserve to have a mentor.
What should you look for in a mentor? Well what I did when
I met my mentor Holton Buggs. A person who could impact my
life dramatically. Did it work?
Holton changed our families lives forever. This servant
took 3 1/2 years and flew from Houston Texas to Santa Rosa
California once each month to mentor us. As a result my
wife and I retired from Corporate America in our thirties.
Holton sacrificed time at home with his family to help us
achieve our goals. That is serious servant leadership.
Now - How can YOU have a millionaire mentor like that?
Well, first of all get some of their precious time by
asking them to lunch or dinner. Everyone needs to eat at
some point, right?
Once you sit down with them you haven't opened just one
door but you just walked into a hall lined with doors as
the conversation unfolds on how they became successful.
Each door along the hallway has a journey associated with
it. Some you will choose to pursue others you will open
the door and then decide not to enter, just close the door
and move on. The great thing is you get to choose where
you want to go and how to get there. These doors where put
there by you deciding to take action and actually sit down
with this person. You never know, the person you sat down
with that you admire may want you to work with them or even
know someone that you could team up with on your journey.
The doors are there will you find the hallway?
The greatest part of all is you will get insight into how
that person acts, reacts and handles themselves in various
scenarios that they experienced in their lives. When you
are asking the questions of how they achieved the levels of
success and the journey they took be sure not to forget
these questions;
- What was your thought process during this period of time?
- What were you thinking as you decided to do x, y or z?
- Did you think you were going to get the result you did?
- What result were you expecting?
- Why didn't it work out like you thought it would?
- What would you have done differently?
And most of all LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN. This is not a time
to talk about you and what you are all about - remember you
are where you are because of your current thinking, after
all, you also asked them to lunch right? Bring a recorder
if you can and record the conversation. Jot down notes
about what they are saying so you can remember it later.
The sharpest mind is weaker than the palest ink. It will
also show them you are serious about learning this
information. You're not there just blowing wind or wanting
to take their time and not take it seriously. Their time
and your time is the most precious commodity you have. Be
sure you thank them profusely before, during and after
lunch and yes do it even if you are paying, the information
they just gave you will change you life if you really want
it to.
After the meeting sit down and review your notes that day
before you go to sleep. If you recorded it - sit down and
replay it and take notes on it. Why? Because you want to
involve all of the senses possible with this information.
Seeing the information by writing it out physically,
hearing the information, repeating the information in your
own voice so your mind can hear you say it. Get your
entire physiology around this information. And YES, this
is important. And most of all go out and teach this
information to someone else within 24 hours. You don't
have to act like you're teaching it to someone just replay
the conversation to a friend or spouse or anyone who will
listen. Why? Because if you do this you will learn it
quicker and it will stick. Now you've engaged all of the
senses, but that won't create what you want only ACTION
will at this point.
From the conversation and session you had with your mentor
you will need to internalize the information
physiologically as described. At this point, within 24
hours, you will also want to review the information once
more then sit down and write out all of the ideas you
received as you replay it in your mind once again. Once
the ideas are on paper you will want to flesh the ideas out
further on your own. For each one write a synopsis of how
this idea would look in its working form and what the
benefits would be for you and others as you take action and
implement these ideas.
You must earn mentorship folks. Work hard and do exactly
what your mentor coaches you to do. One of the main
reasons most never truly recieve TRUE mentorship is their
EGO will not allow it. I personally have worked with
several individuals on a mentorship basis and the only
thing that prevented some from achieving massive results
and greatness was themselves.
So as you look for, seek and find mentorship be sure you
are open to receive the invaluable coaching and then take
MASSIVE ACTION. Your results will come, and if they aren't
as quick as you desire redouble your efforts and follow
your mentors coaching as many times as it takes!
My wife and I received the mentorship, coaching and
leadership and paid it forward. You can do the same in any
circumstance. Find out what drives you what and you want
to achieve in your field of endeavor and then find a mentor
who has succeeded in that area. Take them out to lunch and
find out about them and how they did it. Never ask for
mentorship, instead first build a relationship. Mentorship
relationships are built over time and develop into
friendships that can last for a lifetime.
