Looking for a Great Mentor!

HK
If you use the search tab up the top and use the Keyword "Mentor" in the advance section and highlite the main forum you will find hundreds of threads on the subject!

Here's a very important concept in marketing...Your post is all about you. Most people don't care about you, they care about themselves and your post is very "me" orientated.

You need to learn to tell others what's in it for them, not what's in it for you. For example, instead of asking for a mentor, volunteer to be an intern. Offer to do the "grunt work" for a successful person.

You want someone to teach you and make you money and you aren't offering them anything in return. How about you offer to help someone with experience to make money in exchange for teaching you what you need to do?

Don't ask for someone to help you and talk about only yourself. Instead, tell us what you can do for us. In almost all cases in life (and business) you have to give before you can get.


This may sound harsh, but it's an important principle in marketing.

Step one, find targeted traffic first. Nothing else matters without the traffic source.

Isn't it a sad commentary on our world today that someone can't just sincerely ask for help without having to be concerned about what the helper might get out of it. Seems backwards to me based on how I was raised.

I've mentored lots of people in my profession without a single thought of what I might get out of it. If I were expert in what the OP wants to learn I'd happily offer my guidance and wisdom.

Surely someone is willing to give for the sake of giving without worrying about what they get out of it...

One other thing to keep in mind when trying to barter your time for their help is that there are no borders with internet marketing. So anyone can go and hire a VA for a couple dollars per hour. This may make your offer far less appealing.

Another thing to consider is, would you walk into a highly successful brick and mortar business and ask the owner to do the same and say yes? If not, take into consideration that there is probably little difference between the two.

Granted online you probably have a better shot, but to "mentor" someone can be extremely time consuming. So it may not be very easy to find someone with the necessary experience that's willing to do it.

I'm certain that there are people willing to help you if it's clear that they are the right one to do so. That begins with you clearly defining what you need mentoring on.

What marketing model are you going to use?

What niche(s) are you thinking about entering?

What is your ultimate goal?

How does a potential mentor know that he/she is not wasting their limited time working with you, instead of someone else... given that they can only effectively work with so many people one-on-one.

I'm actually getting ready to mentor several hundred people taking them step-by-step through building their first list of 2000, because I believe that no matter what business you are in online or offline your database is one of your most valuable assets.

I'm mentoring these people 100% free BECAUSE I'm creating a product in the process, once I show them how to do what I say I'm going to show them, I'll probably have close to 100 testimonials, and I'll make money on the back end.

There are people who will help you with no expectation of direct compensation. They understand that the more you give, the more you get, BUT they don't want to waste their time with someone who isn't 1000% committed and willing to do the necessary work!

I'd recommend joining a training site like affplaybook or stm, they have proven over and over again to help people Become successful

You should insist on some GUARANTEES if you can PROVE that you actually DID what your coach told you to do.

This should quickly weed out the hucksters from the real players.

Go to the Warriors For Hire section if you need a mentor. (poor guy ...)

I find it a little funny offering to do work for someone who knows what they are doing because if I were the person who knows what they are doing why would I want someone to do work for me who doesn't know what to do or how to do it. What kind of results could I possibly get.

Hey there,

While reading through your post, I remember how not long a go I went through the same struggles, trial and error that you're going through right now.

That's a nice quote that I had to share with you.

Now, I agree that having an online mentor will help you achieve success much faster (given that the guy teaching you has already achieved the kind of success you're trying to achieve) but posting a thread here on the forum and telling people that you're looking for a mentor will only get your inbox full with direct messages from lots of wanna-bee coaches.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that there aren't any good coaches here on the Warrior Forum, there are many.

Just look in the Warriors for hire section or use the search bar at the top.

Try to find a marketer you personally like and ask them if they can get on a short, get to know each other skype call with you so you can see the way they teach and if you're comfortable learning from them.

Don't rush things because finding the right mentor won't happen overnight. But if you keep looking, you may just find the one you're most comfortable learning from.

Good luck!

Leon.

Op. Is gone for good, and we are still replying, he is gone, best of luck in 2016

Thank you all for the great support on WF. I am still reading through my post. Many great advice I will definitely keep in mind. Please keep the post coming!

Hey man,

I know how you feel... To many information and you don't know here to start right?

First of all, my humble advise to you is:

TAKE ACTION!!! Don't try to learn everything before starting. Just start and then you will learn.

I recomend for you to start a blog, and to build your list from the very beginning.

If you want a mentor, search for successfull internet marketers or bloggers, and try to offer some value to them and try to build a connection him them. Many of them will say no to you, but just don't give up and keep looking


And remember, you don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great

Good luck happykoala!!!
