Why Doesn't Everyone Have a Mentor/coach

This post really isn't going to be about how to make money online but how you should be investing your money.

Everyday im sure of it people who have just lost there jobs or just looking for another source of income are coming online to try to hit it big or earn another source of income.

So they will go into the wso section and spend 150 bucks in there first week buying ebooks trying them for a day then giving up.

Well this is my question why spend 150 (just using 150 for this example) dollars on ebooks when you could spend 150 bucks on a mentor/coach and get more information you could ever get out of one ebook?

As well a mentor will point you in the right direction help you when your stuck... You can't ask an ebook questions and get an answer back (I'm mean maybe some but those are special lol)

And for those of you who are reading this post and thinking 150 i don't have that kind of money there are mentors out there that will coach/mentor you for 50 a month. I'm not going to name names because that is promotion but if you do a little research you can find them.

For me having a coach/mentor has done wonders i went from getting a sale once every 2 weeks to getting 10+ sales a week in only a month or two.

My point is

If your stuck or new ...

Get a mentor/coach

Eric

P.s. Get a mentor/coach

    A mentor (if fact a couple of mentors) have made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in my success. Sadly..alot of people don't let people know that they had mentors that made this difference...they rather have the glory then to admit they had help.

    Cheers,

    I think some people don't get mentors because that represents work. Its easy to buy an ebook and read it. They may do the tasks or not do them - they aren't accountable to anyone but themselves and its easy to make excuses to ourselves.
    If they try the techniques and fail then no one know but themselves.

    When you buy an ebook you are looking for the "quick fix" the "fast buck" or the "10 min website". A mentor means someone else is going to be setting the pace and expecting things done on a time line.

    Others are too "shy" or embarrassed to ask for help. They prefer to read and learn in private. Not everyone is comfortable in a group setting. They don't want to appear stupid so they don't participate.

    I can tell you from experience through the different coaching programs I have run that not all people who signup for coaching are ready and willing to work either. I always have one or two I have to poke and push. I even have long term clients who get "lazy" and I have to send an email cracking the whip to get them moving.
    Our lives are busy and its really easy to make excuses - its a matter of setting priorities.

    Having a mentor is not for everyone and you really should be at the "ready to get it done" phase of your business before getting one. If you are still in the research phase then a mentor might not be what you need - yet.
