Mentors: The Fast Track To Success.
One of the key factors that successful people mention as
being a prime reason for their achievements is having a mentor.
It's mentioned everywhere from Napoleon Hill's book "Think &
Grow rich" right through to being the very premise behind
Donald Trump's successful TV series, "The Apprentice".
What is a mentor? In essence, a mentor is a person who
has achieved a level of success and experience in a
particular field of expertise that you wish to master. From this
position, he/she is powerfully positioned to help you succeed rapidly, by
short-cutting the process and showing you the inside
secrets to making rapid advances.
Bill
Gates, the world's richest man, has a mentor. His name
is multibillionaire Warren Buffet - the world's most
successful investor. Jim Rohn was Tony Robbins' mentor. Tony
Robbins has mentors too. Indeed, almost anyone you care to name who
has made it big in any field has one or more mentors.
There are mentors for money (e.g. Bill Gates, Warren
Buffet, Dan Pena, Bob Proctor). There are mentors for spirituality
(Deepak Chopra, the Church pastor, Jesus, Buddha and more).
There are mentors for success in Sport: they are called coaches
and trainers.
In fact, it is possible to have a mentor in virtually
any field of endeavor that you care to mention: everything from
Fly-Fishing to Dating, from Copywriting to Scriptwriting. The
apostle Paul mentored a 1st century bishop called Timothy. the poet
Ezra Pound mentored T.S. Eliot throughout his career. In Star Wars,
the Jedi Master Yoda, was mentor to one trainee Jedi after
another.
Hence you can see that mentors exist is EVERY
conceivable field. The list is endless.
Hence, you need to ask yourself a question. If all these
people acknowledged the crucial importance of Mentoring, what
about you? Might THIS one factor be holding you back? If you don't
already have a mentor, don't your think you should think about
getting one?
Mentors have already invented the wheel, so that you
don't have to reinvent anything. They already know the people you
need to meet. They've already climbed
the mountain you wish to
conquer.
You should also know that you do not have to have just
one mentor. You can have a different one for every area you
wish to master. Hence, you might have one mentor for your
business, another for your personal growth, and yet another for
your hobby.
Much of the time, people would love to have a younger,
less experienced person consult them for advice. Yet, nobody
ever asks them to. People always imagine that such people are far
too busy or whatever. For example, in business, there is a wealth
of former CEOs of major companies - often stock market
listed companies - who have basically been "put out to pasture"
and nobody comes to ask them anything anymore. However, if
you approach them, you would find that they would be more
than happy to help.
If you are hard put to find a physical mentor, maybe you
can utilize the internet and find one online? There are
numerous mentor and coaching programs on the internet which,
although not as ideal as a physical personal mentor, are still an
excellent choice if you cannot find one in your area.
In addition, you should consider where you might be able
to be a mentor to someone else? There is DEFINITELY some area
that you either know a lot about, or are greatly skilled in,
where others would benefit from your experience. Before you reply by
negating the very idea, you should remember that the world is a
huge place, and there are people trying to learn virtually
every skill you care to mention. They are prepared to pay well for
it too.
What are the factors in selecting a mentor? A good
mentor must have excellent communication skills, be honest and
possess integrity, have a deep level of experience in the area
you wish to master, and be an organized, balanced and disciplined
person.
It is also essential that you are able to establish a
real rapport. After all, how can you profit from the
relationship if you don't even like each other and get on as people.
This is a crucial factor, both if you wish to BE a mentor or if
you are seeking to find one. People help people they personally
like. They want to see people succeed whom they have some
friendship or empathy with.
Overall then, if you have been finding that success has
been eluding you in the area of your choice, then you should
definitely consider a mentor. Begin to think now about
how and where to find one. Offer that person some incentive to
be your mentor, whether it be financial or otherwise, to get
them on your side.
However, one way or another, find yourself a mentor.
This will be your single fastest shortcut to Success!
