I actually have an interview with the people that are on the team of one of my
dream mentors tonight so I'm trying to actually get in to his ecosystem and
kind of over the months kind of work my way into eventually earning a mentorship
with the person that I'm actually interested in having mentorship with but
it's not as easy as just contacting somebody and asking for mentorship
they're not gonna get anywhere with that and actually you might kind of ruin your
chances if you do I've had some mentorship in the past and
it's kind of a cool relationship a friendship and almost like a Brotherhood
that you can establish with a mentor and it's a lot of fun so in today's video I
want to kind of go over my strategy on how to find a mentor there is a strategy
but it also needs to come off organically because think about it a
mentor has everything that they need what benefit is it for them to actually
mentor you so let's teleport back to my house let's
go on the whiteboard I'll show you some of my strategy all right let's go
alright guys so don't worry about if you can't read this I'm gonna be going over
everything here the notes are mostly for myself but first I want to talk about
the types of mentors there are you have kind of like the professor type of
mentor you have like the staff of a company type of mentor and you have the
actual direct type of mentor now the professor's kind of go over like the
theory of business or whatever topic you're trying to learn the professor's
haven't actually necessarily implemented whatever they're teaching you in college
but maybe they're knowledgeable on the topic but being as they haven't actually
implemented any of the information that they're teaching you it's not one of the
most valuable types of mentors you could get it's better than nothing they've
studied a bunch but it's not gonna be as good as learning from someone that has
actually implemented whatever they're teaching you the second type of mentor
is like maybe a staff member of a really successful entrepreneur so for example
like Steven Larson worked directly alongside with Russell Brunson and was
actually the lead funnel builder for Russell Brunson at clickfunnels
and Steven Larson is of course a lot more than just a staff sort of level
mentor but that's just an example of the type of mentor you have the staff type
of mentors that have worked alongside or worked under very successful people so
if we're talking about like Steve Larson before he became really successful and
he was working at Clint funnels right next to Russell Brunson that might have
been a decent time to meet him in like utilize him for his knowledge as a
entrepreneur and a mentor but then you have like the third kind of mentor where
it's like the actual direct mentor like the type of entrepreneur that has
actually implemented everything that they're teaching you now Steve Larson is
in that category now but as you can see the most powerful type of mentor is
going to be the type of mentor that has actually implemented everything they're
trying to teach you but at the end of the day what you really want to go for
is a mentor that is all three Steven Larson would now be all three just as an
example because he has the theory he actually worked with Russell Brunson
directly and he's actually implemented everything that he's learned and I'm
actually gonna get Stephen Larson on the channel for an interview at some point I
think so let me know if you guys are interested in that but you can see how
beneficial would be if you have somebody that has all the theory that has
actually worked with successful entrepreneurs and
actually has implemented everything that they're teaching but before you actually
decide to choose a mentor you want to kind of keep in mind how much money do
you earn how far are you in the Entrepreneurship journey you might be
earning anywhere from zero to three thousand maybe three thousand to ten
thousand per month ten thousand to five hundred thousand per month five hundred
thousand to a million per month or maybe more than a million per month everybody
wants to jump in and a lot of people want to invest in a mentor spend
thousands of dollars when they're first starting out to get some of your online
bull guru that says that they're gonna change your life but it's
incredibly important to remain patient I've been in business two years I've
never invested in a mentor and a lot of that was because I was stubborn and I
thought that I could learn everything on my own and I did learn a lot on my own
and it's been beneficial to have that trial and error to a certain extent but
when you get to a certain point it's really time to like take things to the
next level and to be able to do that you're gonna need a mentor okay time out
real quick I want to expand on that a little bit because when you invest in a
mentor half the thing is like some of this stuff you might be able to learn on
your own by just like researching it and like
free youtube videos and stuff like that but if you get a good mentor you'll
actually be able to get their connections what they've gathered over
the 10 years that have really made their progress streamline so they get to pass
that on to you which is incredible you get the P a part of their masterminds
and be able to surround yourself with people that are a lot more successful
than you and that's really where the power comes from it's not just somebody
that's teaching you something and just feel like coaching you through
everything that would be a coach and not an actual mentor so there's a lot of
power and having a mentor but you could actually streamline the process and skip
some of the bullcrap that I went through we're actually implementing this sort of
idea here look at it like a set of stairs if you're at the bottom of the
stairs and you're making anywhere from zero to three thousand dollars a month
you don't need to jump up to the top stair and find somebody that's making
multiple millions per month would it be awesome if you're starting out and then
you got a multi-millionaire to mentor you directly yeah I'd be awesome but
it's gonna be difficult for them it's gonna be difficult for you because
neither of you guys are on the same page-width language if you're brand new
to entrepreneurship or let's say you wanna your interest in marketing digital
marketing you would need to find somebody that's making just one step
above you that would be ideal somebody that's making $3,000 per month so that
you can go from zero to then take a step up and be pulled up by that mentor to
reach the goal of reaching 3,000 per month and then once you're established
making a solid 3,000 per month you need to find somebody that's making 10,000
per month and so on and so on Patrick BETT David explained it like if
you were interested and exercising and interested in going to the gym would you
want to jump and pay thousands of dollars to the best body builder coach
in the world not necessarily you just need to get familiar with the weights
and you know get in there and get comfortable with everything maybe
somebody that is just a step ahead of you in the gym can kind of mentor you
and guide you to get you familiar with the entire processes there so it's
important to remain patient find out what step you're on and just find
somebody that is where you want to go they can bring you up to the next level
if you're not patient and you don't go this route then you risk being taken
advantage of from some bullcrap online guru that's got charging thousands of
dollars that it has not actually implemented anything that are teaching
you a lot of times online you have the professors that are just the internet
gurus they haven't actually implemented anything that they're teaching all they
have is the theory behind the topic that they're teaching so if you don't follow
this kind of step-by-step process then you risk me and take it advantage by
some of those people that are preying on the desperate it's really not necessary
to invest in a mentor until you first learn the basics so there's actually a
lot of different kinds of mentors and some of them are free so how do you go
about choosing well you could start out with like studying the information from
deceased entrepreneurs people like Steve Jobs Andrew Carnegie George Eastman
Henry Ford you could study books documentaries interviews with these
people you could look at all their content and all the information that's
online about them and really absorb their thought processes and absorb all
their knowledge you know there might be some controversial topics that they are
a part of some articles that you could look up there's tons of information that
you can pick a dead mentor to study from and learn from just because these
entrepreneurs passed away doesn't mean that
leave behind an incredible legacy and incredible information that you could
learn from I've done that a ton now the other method is you could look for
online mentors you know be careful with this one because there's a lot of
bullcrap out there like I've been talking about but there's a lot of
successful entrepreneurs that are putting out content and not really
asking anything in return they actually earn money in the backend by building
their personal brand you could check out podcasts YouTube videos blogs all sorts
of content and all you have to do is find them online and find who resonates
with you and follow their content there's tons of free stuff I've done
this for two years just be careful of some of the online gurus out there that
are actually making their living just selling bullcrap when they're actually
just professors in the game they don't have any knowledge that they've actually
implemented on their own a couple online mentors that come to
mind when I was writing this out is Patrick David Andy for Cilla Gary
Vaynerchuk these are just a few there's some of my favorite there's tons but you
could find online entrepreneurs that you resonate with the most and just follow
them remove everybody else from your life on social media I've removed
everybody and I've surrounded myself with only the content of successful
entrepreneurs that I really resonate with and I look up to because you all
know how when say you're surrounded by a group of friends all the time you guys
kind of pick up each other's habits we adapt to our surroundings as human
beings it stems all the way back to when we were living in packs that you kinda
have to adapt to your surroundings adapt with the pack that you're living with so
everybody could get along everybody would be safe and everybody had a job
and it's just what you gotta do and you got to be a sponge and absorb all that
information this is a really good one I got these ideas by Patrick BETT David
you could consider finding a local business now I haven't really been able
to do this so much because I've been in Philippines I haven't really thought
about that that was a really good idea by Patrick but you literally can find
local businesses somebody that's making like a half million per year and go
there and absorb information from them don't show up and say you know - hey
will you mentor me don't be selfish and approach these people with only a
benefit for yourself these people are busy they're already pretty successful
you need to bring them some some kind of value to give them really some reason to
waste their time helping you and then local business can be anything and it
could be literally a local business a physical business where somebody's
really successful you know don't forget to get off line and see maybe it's a
liquor store maybe it's a gas station somebody that's making a lot of money
per year that's above you could be super beneficial
now this one's probably the most powerful ones you could possibly have is
actually being able to shadow an entrepreneur and like be side by side
with them and learn from them take notes you know be in the meetings with them if
they're having meetings that their business and be able to literally watch
their mannerisms you should be doing this with all the entrepreneurs figure
out their mannerism how do they speak what's their thought processes you want
to emulate these people as much as possible because the way that their
brain is spinning is different than yours is different than a lot of people
and it's allowed them to be successful so if you ever have the opportunity to
actually shadow someone now this isn't going to happen overnight it's gonna
take a lot of time and effort and a lot finesse but you just need to be able to
get your foot in the door and kind of be able to just just get in there and be
like hey you know maybe I can sweep up for you you know give me you know can I
clean your shop you know something you got to actually show these people that
you could bring them value for free they don't owe you anything so you gotta get
creative and think how can you bring them value and show them that you're
truly serious in exchange for them giving you some time and some guidance
so at the end of the day you just have to find somebody that you respect and
really resonate with and figure out a way to kind of slither in and approach
them with not really an agenda there's a certain mindset that you have to have is
not desperation but just willingness to work you know patience and ultimately
kind of show them how serious you are so very important I get asked all the time
just straight up hey will you be my mentor no I'm not gonna be your mentor
do it show me that you really want me to be your mentor and then maybe I'll give
you some guidance you know maybe if you actually were a part of my youtube
channel and you know you're engaging on my content and you know you're a part of
my world and you're serious about your success and then maybe I will go out of
my way to give you some guidance and additional mentorship but so many people
approach other people is just asking hey will you be my mentor and not providing
any value whatsoever to the entrepreneur that they're asking mentorship from you
sort of got to get in the ecosystem of the person that you resonate with and
ultimately want to have as a mentor I have somebody in mind for myself that is
exactly where I want to be and where I've always wanted to be I've never had
any kind of mentor throughout life I never had like a dad that was a mentor
and gave me any guidance so throughout my adult life you know actually starting
at like 16 when I first had a job I kind of naturally found mentors and the
management and the older men that I was working with I found people that I
resonated with that could kind of give me some guidance in life I was would
actually kind of take me under their wing because at the end of the day I
think most people are generous and they will and they want to see other people
succeed but you can't go in with a selfish agenda and expect somebody just
to waste their time because you asked them for it me for example I'm about to
spend several thousand dollars just to be able to join the ecosystem of the
person I want mentorship from I'm not even getting direct mentorship from this
person I'm just spinning several thousand dollars so I could get my foot
in the door and be a part of his ecosystem and from there I could work my
way in organically and if I'm lucky maybe after months and months from now
I'll be able to provide him some kind of value in exchange for a lobe a guidance
here and there whether it's just you know sweeping his house just so I could
be around him or mowing his lawn or something like
that I don't know we'll see as the months go along but you have to be
willing to put some kind of skin in the game if you want to actually receive
mentorship from your dream mentor so many people aren't even willing to
invest them in themselves and if you're not willing to invest in your dream
mentors ecosystem and be a part of his family
it's gonna be very difficult to obtain any kind of mentorship from them because
financial investments is the indication that somebody serious and they have some
skin in the game because when you actually pay for something
psychologically you take it more serious that's why you see so often successful
people charging money for mentorship that is so that you could weed out
everybody that is not actually serious all the tire kickers and stuff like that
now the person I'm going after and pursuing for mentorship I might
be able to achieve this for months and months maybe years and he's I mean
selling mentorship so it's got to take a lot of finessing and a lot of patience
to be able to achieve this and I'm spending several thousand dollars in his
ecosystem to be able to you know show that I'm serious and obtain that
knowledge that brings me up to a level where he is willing to mentor me and
even then me spending the money that's several thousand dollars to get into his
ecosystem nothing's guaranteed so at the end of the day you really gotta figure
out a way to provide some kind of valuable show that you have some kind of
skin in the game if you truly want mentor maybe you don't want mentor maybe
you want to go you know you can study the deceased you can find online mentors
that aren't charging anything but eventually you're gonna want to be able
to actually get a direct mentor when you get to that level but some of you guys
might still be on the first step here and that's okay just slowly work your
way up and then by time you get to the upper steps it'll feel it'll make sense
and they'll feel or both feel natural to go ahead and invest in the ecosystem or
invest in mentorship and buy time you're at the higher steps then you'll actually
have more knowledge and you'll be able to not be taken advantage of by some of
the slimy marketing gurus they're out there just bullcrap and one more
thing I just saw I was checking my notes here you got respect the person's time
and space remember if they don't owe you anything
respect their time their time is the most valuable thing they have when they
have all the money they could ever want respect their time as being incredibly
valuable and the respect their time has being the biggest asset that they have
and just take that into consideration when you're communicating with them and
respect their space because they're very busy nobody wants you hounding them
respect their space and do plenty of research on particular topics so that
you are burnt out and you've done everything you could possibly find
online before you actually take the time to ask this person to question and
nothing pisses me off more when I'm mentoring somebody and helping somebody
and they don't actually take my advice and they don't actually do anything that
I'm teaching them that's the quickest way for me to understand that you are
not serious whatsoever I hope that's helpful guys remember this is the most
important part see what level you're on and then fine
mentor that is at a slightly higher level than you don't worry so much about
spending thousands upon thousands of dollars for the top level it's just not
gonna work out for anyone slowly work your way up the ladder approaching and
working and obtaining mentorship from people that are just a little higher
level of you as things go on let it all happen organically be patient and go
kick some ass alright peace out
