Score.org does free coaching, but probably not the coaching you're looking for..

  James,
  
  Pretty much any serious coaching program is going to be a paid one...and not particularly cheap either. Not that you can't find one that is good and affordable, but the coaching may not be a match for you.
  
  Another thing that I think most people considering a coaching program should look for...
  
  Instead of receiving pure content...or just help on your project...look for a program that will provide you with a finished product or service that is generating income as the final goal.
  
  An example: with my program (I consider it more of a mentor / partner program), I become 50/50 partners with the person I'm mentoring. In the end, we have an actual product that is selling. It's in my best interest to make sure the product is the best it can be...and promoted as thoroughly as possible. I consider my 50% in profits to be my back-end.
  
  It would be cool if there were more programs like this.
  
  You can see how I set mine up in my Sig link if you like.
  
  Ed
  
  Thanks

You get what you pay for.

The idea is, as most people would agree, the relationship MUST be mutually synergetic. That's what is required.

I myself paid $4000 + for a mentor a few months back.

But honestly, I gotta say he deserved it. And I am sure you will agree with me. Mentoring is such a PLUS.

  Oh no... Mine was for life
  
  Seriously... Its about the relationship I built with that millionaire... I am constantly in touch with him... And I might even end up getting a JV deal with him next month. Nothing guaranteed, but certainly far more possible than it was earlier. WOOF!

I would like to advice you read the book

I'm assuming since this is an Internet marketing forum that the original poster was looking for a mentor in Internet marketing.

In which case reading books by Robert K, Trump, and Hill, will most likely not help them with Internet marketing specifically.

However for motivation and an understanding about business and marketing yes indeed good stuff.

I would disagree on paying for a mentor if they are new to IM (which is an assumption that could be wrong)

The fastest way to success is to get with a coach or mentor who has the experience rather than wasting hours or days trying to find answers and piecing things together.

Instead of paying $400+ dollars on home study courses its better money spent getting with a coach or mentor to shortcut the process.

They will actually be losing money because of the learning delay when they can recoup the costs of a mentor a lot faster.

The best mentors don't 'mentor' for money. Because they're too busy doing what they do.

If they take you, it's because they believe in what you do or you have some particular value to them. That said, you will most likely have to pay for "access" to talk to them - e.g. buying all their products.

I'm getting ready to start working with Michael Mayo on his "warrior dojo" mentoring program. I'll let you know how it goes.

Those books will tell you nothing about how to successfully start and run your own Internet business.

They're great if you're a completely newbie to success mindset and have only ever thought about working for other people, but they're nothing to do with IM.

Reading and watching gives you awareness - doing gives you understanding.

  First of all not all mentors and coaches cost thousands of dollars.
  
  Second of all, if you don't have any kind of reserve funds, then yes you got to do things on your own for a bit.
  
  The ideology was that if you had a choice between buying expensive home study courses or a coaching and training package from a mentor or coach that had reasonable rates, that it would be in your best interest to get with a mentor or coach rather than taking home study course.
  
  Again the reason for that is when working one on one with a mentor or coach is that instead of reading about information and watching videos they can actually tell you what works, what doesn't work, how it works,why it works, and what you need to do to make it work.

  What are you expecting a successful entrepreneur to see as the value YOU bring to the deal if you're not prepared to pay much for their time?
  
  I've spent a lot of time helping people over the years and in my experience, the more people pay - the more likely they are to do the things you suggest to them.
  
  If you give people your valuable time for nothing (or very little) - that's the value they place on it.
  
  I've always had trouble charging as much as I should because there are always people with no money who want help, but you can't run a successful business based on giving your time and knowledge away for free, and even if you don't need the money that doesn't devalue your worth.
  
  I don't even consider coaching or mentoring anyone who can't afford to pay properly for it.
  
  If you have no money and want to make money - you're not ready for a mentor, you're just looking for an easy answer rather than do the required work you know is needed.
  
  Andy

How would you decide if a particular mentor was qualified?

I would think about what i needed to learn and if this person has successful experience there then I would also make sure we had good rapport. Some people know a lot but do not communicate as well as others.

I would also want a clear idea of what I would learn and have an end goal spelled out.

I would also check their background.

I read earlier today of someone who charged a few people $7000.00 and gave them a few phone calls that was it.

Thanks

How long/how much time have you honestly spent studying then APPLYING tips and techniques offerd here? Have you spent any time participating onteleseminars? Or purchased material toeducate yourself? Or how about free stuff? A lot of it is dang good.

See, a *mentor* wants you to have some skin in the game. For a mentor to be successful, the student must be ready. Simply paying for one does not mean that you're ready for one.

A free teleseminar is at" www.8WeeksAway.com

Not meant to be harsh.

Having a mentor also customises your learning journey. A home study course, ebooks, IM workshops cater to the general public.

They won't understand your preference, strengths, personalities, habits, personal schedule.

Having a mentor enables you to discuss with someone who have been walking the talk and save you time by directing you to the right resources.

Besides saving money, you also save time (which I feel is more important than money.)

One may spend 3 years by feeling around and not yet make any money. A mentor can shorten the time needed but at the same time, your learning curve will get steeper.

I have shared in this post on what you need to note while looking for your right mentor.

Good luck!
