Who is your greatest Mentor?

[soladollar]

Hello everyone,

For someone to be successful in life they have to follow some l;aid down principle... Which automatically leads us to having a mentor... Every business man (Regardless of the type, whether online or offline) needs someone to look up to; someone to shape a business around.

WHO IS YOUR GREATEST MENTOR?
WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO FOR ADVICE?
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?

[guopei01]

Hi soladollar

You asked a splendid question! Here's my answers: My role model is Mr Lee Kuan Yew ( the mentor minister of Singapore), but generally much as I wish to, he's not available for advice. My greatest mentor so far is my father, and the person I look up to for advice...well...again my father!

WHO IS YOUR GREATEST MENTOR?
WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO FOR ADVICE?
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?

Craig Desorcy of Make Money Online The Honest Way and a member of the Warrior Forum for all of the above. Now here's the why:

1.) He saw something in me and lent a hand to me on my very first foray into eBook publishing without asking for anything in return.
2.) He tells me when something's fishy and I need to watch my back.
3.) He spoonfeeds me with great ideas I hadn't thought of.
4.) He cares about my state of mind and if I'm off track, he gives me a swift kick in the ass to get me back.
5.) He doesn't promote things just for money - he promotes what works, period.
6.) He makes me learn things even if I don't wanna! Wah! (But that's what good teachers do). Most recently, he sent me two great books to force to learn what I abhor most - sales copy!
7.) He's just good people. You gotta be able to trust and look up to your role model.

Dang, I really wanted to check him out, but his site is closed to new members! What a mean trick

[Scott84]

I don't have a very good mentor at all, but life must go on. At 24 this is a stumbling block but the system I have in place has everything I need to succeed it just would of been helpful to have my mentors techniques (which he brags about so much through autoresponders) to get traffic to my site.
A huge learning curve and when I start getting the knowledge of internet marketing I am in a promise to myself that I will never leave my recruits floundering as it is a horrible and lonely experience.
Anyone who is interested in starting their own business in whatever niche, one important research is on your future mentor, ask questions directly about the opportunity, products, marketing and how they progressed right from scratch.

Any advice on how to best market an extensive range of e-books,graphics,audios,videos ETC . View the link and get in touch.

[Andrew Maule]

Chris Everson, Eben Pagan and Frank Kern, I don't know the last two in real life though but they provide kick ass info so I have to give it to them.

[Anthony Smith]

Chris Everson and Destin Cribbs, my partners in many ventures, i appreciate their help and etc. if it wasn't for them i wouldn't have the opportunities i currently have, nor would i be here! Very knowledgeable guys.

[redicelander]

I don't have one. But desperately want one and soon. But I will not be duped into some scammer.

[aboutalhah]

For me, it's those two:

1. Mark Ling,

2. and Eben Pagan.

Franck

[NiallR]

Hard question to answer but two people I would consistently listen to are:

Colin McDougall
Michael Campbell

Consistent, no BS and proven money earners who don't need to flood your inbox promoting every super duper, mega launch to earn money. They do what they teach and make money from it.


On the WF I have to give Hamida Pall a mention of course. Genuine, very clever and helpful :-)

[Tenzo]

Well, I don't have a mentor per se, but I've learned a lot from Dr. Mani. If I am looking for specific info, he is one of my go to marketers.

Regards,
Kevin

I only listen to Frank Kern and his emails...no one else. Why? I like the guy, he lives the lifestyle I want, has the likable personality, works smart, and gives great free content in an easily digestible manner.

Plus, he actually RESPONDED to a few emails at one time and I was shocked. That simple gesture won me over.

He gets my vote.

[Louis Raven]

I'd have to say the WarriorForum as I don't really look up to anyone or follow a specific "someone".

This forum made me over $40.000 (top of my head , more or less) so I owe it to here.

Quite simple really.

Eben Pegan is "the man". I have learned a lot from him when I was struggling with my "who am I, where I am going" questions. He used to teach dating as 'David DeAngelo'. Great guy.

Eben was / is DeAngelo? Really? Didn't know that. Wow, great. I haven't bought any of his stuff, but I was at a time really impressed by the whole PUA thing.

nonsense.

i do this full time and never had a mentor and don't follow anyone.

the only way I've found success has been experimenting with things I didn't think existed, keeping what works, throwing out the rest, and doing it again.

many people figure it out themselves.

[Paul Schlegel]

Nikhil Parekh who influenced my thinking about automation, outsourcing, and building a team and who continually drives home the idea of focusing on your long-term business model.

It's also been an inspiration for me to watch Michael Brown scale up his business so quickly AND get yelled at by him alot to stop relying on my affiliate commissions and make my own products.

Thanks, Michael. Keep yelling at me. LOL.

The word Mentor gets thrown around quite a fair bit in the business world especially internet marketing. Sorry to be a geek but the word "mentor", if you do a word search actually means something like "A loyal teacher/coach/counselor/friend".

I personally dont yet have someone im physically talking to and or seeing about my goals, aspirations and seeking insight from. But like most of us here, i read plenty of books, watch videos etc.

A teacher can come in many forms...

My favorite at the moment is Frank Kern. Simply because i like clean cut no BS no sugar coating teaching. And also the fact that he, like myself spends his days wearing flip flops and realizes that life is also about having fun and not just making money. Basically he is not an arrogant tosser and hes always trying to add humility to his programs. Adding to this i think he is one of the best copywriters and internet marketers out there today.

One other big one which is from a totally different industry is the famous chef Gordon Ramsey. Again for the reason that he too does not sugar coat things and gets straight to the point, also a very funny guy. What i like most about Gordon is the fact that he understands his business so perfectly, its a marvel. A true professional.

Meditation also is a great teacher, hoping not to intrude into peoples personal beliefs, but i really do get much from meditation. Just the simple process of sitting down taking some deep breathes and then letting it all flow. There are many different forms of meditation and many different things you can try to achieve through it. When you enter the vast corridors of your consciousness and bring back certain pieces of data its then you realize the true potential inside all human beings. The answers i believe are in all of us.

Hi All,

My greatest mentors are my students!

We all think we know a lot (at what we do) then there comes a question which stumps you... if you're intelligent you jump aboard the opportunity to learn the answers to these questions, they make you wiser, then give you more wisdom and knowledge yourself.

People at seminars always ask me "why are you so smart?"... "how do you know so much?".... I credit a LOT of what I do from the students I've taught, and the students of mine who teach me (each and every day).

Hope this helps!

[JOhnny Depth]

I don't have any mentor.

I'm just participating of rums and reading a lot of blog post.

My role model is JOhn chow and Jeremy Schoemaker.

[DavidJBrooks]

I've been learning a lot from Michael Cheney, he gives a lot of good information delivered with passion and good humour

[gcjmarkets]

Good questions;

The person I look to and try to role model after eventhough I have never met him is John Delevera creator of the Turbo Line of products and JVM 1 and JVM 2 Fantasos. The reason is because he creates and markets products that provide real benefit and he takes care of his customers.

The person I go to for advice is my father

[Allen Graves]

I sure hope so!

LOL

My apologies to the OP. I've just gone so long without a Megan Fox post, I had to get it out of my system...I mean...just look at her!

So, for those who know his story, one of my mentors goes by the name of Neil Peart. Genious, Courageous, Stand-Up Guy.

Might get some bad responses, but mine is Mike Filsaime. Reading his stuff gets me in a positive mindset and that puts my productivity way up.

Not in person, Allen! I was watching "R30" on Saturday. I haven't run into Neil, Geddy or Alex since the 1980's when I was still doing some showrunning for Gulf Artists and Silverstar Productions.

See my PM for more info.

With respect,

No they don't.
No it doesn't.
No they most certainly don't.

Christ! Where does this stuff come from? The three questions in upper case are fair and stimulating questions, but please don't prefix them with such nonsense. There have been enough examples of limiting views and misinformation around here lately without adding to the quagmire of business ignorance, fatalism, nincompoopery and numptiness!

My mentor is research.

Just by using a bit of assertion and elbow-grease, I can, over time, clearly see what is working best and what to do in regards to any target process.

The internet makes this quite easy.

Other than that, and faith references aside, I find that my most influential "mentors" haven't been a specific person - or words that someone has said.

No, it's the collaborative effect of watching people ACT when they're confronted with real life ****.

Whatever it may be.

You find out real quick what someone's real colors are when they're looking down the barrel of a loaded, figurative, gun in life.

I've seen a few people crumble that were highly-esteemed previously, and I've also seen surprisngly "non-esteemed" people display incredible intuition, intelligence and integrity.

And vice versa.

So...

I guess my mentor is LIFE.

At any given time, an individual role-model or "celebrity" WILL fail you. Or at least your standards of what they should live up to. Because they're human.

This is why it's important to know what YOUR ideals, YOUR values and YOUR goals really are.

Then you can take a little here, a little there and so on from a VARIETY of people and experiences so that in the end...

...you can live a full life that makes you happy.

And hopefully you die in your sleep.

The end.

-Chris

[Asher]

WHO IS YOUR GREATEST MENTOR?

The experiences in life... from myself
and others.

WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO FOR ADVICE?

God.

WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?

My pastor and my dad.

Bill Gates & the creators of google are the folks who I admire the most, imagine where we would be now and how much money we would not make if they both didn't exist.

[laucity0513]

I am a big fan of Jimmy D. Brown!

I've learned a lot from him and still learning. I study almost all of his products and making myself to stick to his style. Here are couple of reasons why I love Jimmy so much:

1. He is really the expert and he teaches you how to be the one. When I say this, I mean he is only sharing based on his experiences. He really had gone through all of them before he shared in his products. He is the guy that practises what he preaches. Jimmy likes writing so he is not going to outsource his writing so you are guarantee to have all his writing done by himself, not by outsourcing or get from PLR.

2. He has the talent of making complex stuffs into simple breakdown. Seriously I can't really read those "big collection" type of ebook. I mean it is good that you are providing me with bonuses but I don't have the time to read them all. I just want to know ONE thing and tell me how to get there. Jimmy is very good at producing small reports and they are what I want. In his report, you just have to learn THAT thing and that's it. You no need to spend too much time on bothering those unnecessary information. This is one of the ways that I avoiding myself from information overload. Whenever I feel that I need to learn something, I will look up for Jimmy's products. If he is not providing it then I look around for other resources.

3. Jimmy doesn’t usually promote other people products. I seldom receive Jimmy's email and the time you receive his email, it is the time he is telling you that he is going to launch another new product or he got something special for you.

4. He is great at brainstorming and gives out new ideas. He is good at making new ideas and those ideas are the one that you can learn from observing what he doing (without paying him). There are many marketers out there also have very great ideas but in order to replicate or model what they are doing, you may need large resources and put in plenty of time and money. At least for Jimmy, it is possible for me to actually learn his way with little cost.

5. Jimmy is a systematic and productive guy. He has his own system of doing business and he is teaching us how to do that. For example, by studying his "Small Report Big Fortune", you are not only learning how to create small reports but also the whole profiting system that can be brought by them. And if you are studying his other products again, they are actually inter-connected to each other. In the other words, if you are able to notice this system and copy it, you can really live with 6-figures like what he did.

Other than Jimmy, I like Ewen Chia too. He is also the guy that has lots of new marketing idea and inspired me a lot. He was once distributing his video newsletter but I am wondering why he stopped that. It was actually quite a good idea by incorporating video into ebook.

Apparently there are many great internet marketers out there and they are teaching great stuffs. I just feel that those are too complicated for me to learn and apply especially when I started with low capital and little resources. Anyway it is a fun thing to observe the market.

My answer to all three questions:
WHO IS YOUR GREATEST MENTOR?
WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO FOR ADVICE?
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?

Jimmy D. Brown!

I like especially one of his quotes, "No amount of money is enough to miss out on living your life". I wanted to live with his life style, enjoying life now if I am capable to do that. If not, make something different so that you can enjoy them. I don't want big company, many staffs under me, which I will probably ended up in a "busy" life that I don't have time to enjoy my life. I step into internet business because I want to earn more "time" but not more and more "money". I just want to have enough money (not a lot of money) every month, every year to live my life.

For Peter Drew of Brute Force SEO By Peter Drew , he is a nice guy, very helpful and willing to share what he have.

I learned from him how to dominate my niche in google in less than 5 days, or even in 24 hours.

[James Schramko]

I learn different things from everyone. They all shape my thinking. I go to the source for what I need. Each one is good at different things.

If you look for the lesson in every experience the world and everyone around you can reveal a lot about yourself and others.

Some people don't need an idol to worship.
