Find a mentor
The Power Of A Mentor
By Rebecca Osborn
Contrary to what the so-called “experts” would like you to believe,becoming successful is NOT hard.
In fact, it is actually very, very simple, providing you know the right steps to take at the right time, and providing you take focused, committed action when those opportunities arise.
This is especially true when you have a mentor who has already been where you are right now, holding your hand and helping you every single step along the way.
You see, success leaves footprints. A mentor will help you follow these prints to success.
The real value in having a mentor lies in finding someone who has already accomplished the same or similar goal that you are trying to accomplish. When looking for a mentor, make sure you find somebody who has been successful in an area that you want to be successful in also.
For example, if you want to become rich and famous as a motivational speaker, it makes sense to find a mentor that is already a very successful motivational speaker! They can show you how they became such a success and highlight the pitfalls and mistakes they made so that you can learn from them and avoid them.
The sad fact is, many of the so-called speaking experts have not actually done it for themselves! Instead, they rely on a hype-filled marketing campaign to overwhelm you into buying into their program.
Even if you get lucky and learn some tactics from these “anti-gurus” and experience some success, you will never learn the strategic thinking that goes into building a successful speaking empire. Remember that when you follow the footprints of someone who is already successful, you stand a much higher chance of being successful yourself.
