Who Is Your Mentor?

April 2, 2007

Who is your mentor? Who is helping you achieve the success you want from your business and life?

The worst way to start or run any business is as a lone ranger. It’s a prescription for failure.

Find out who has accomplished the goals you want to reach. Find out who has done it before you. Get ahold of their roadmap. Follow their plan.

Some people don’t want to pay to learn…or work with a mentor. Big mistake. They’ll say, “Experience is the best teacher.” Of course it is. It’s also the most expensive.

You can save thousands of dollars in mistakes from a $20 book. You can move yourself years forward in you business through the right training course. You can reach a level of success you’ve never expected from a coaching program.

Let me ask you two simple questions. How much have you spent on all your TVs, cable, satellite, and movies? How much have you spent on your library? If your TV bill adds up to more, you’re in serious trouble in the long-term.

When I first came online, there weren’t any “Internet gurus.” I wanted to learn this business. So I went out and bought materials from the top direct marketing experts offline….including Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy, Ted Nicholas, and others.

Jay Abraham’s materials clicked the best with me…and I’ve put together quite a collection including his Ultimate Protege Mentor Program, Your Marketing Genius At Work, Mr. X Book, How to Get From Where You Are to Where you Want to Be, Stealth Marketing, and his Consulting Scripts. And I know I’m forgetting other materials of his I have around here.

In fact, I engrossed myself in his materials so extensively in the beginning that my clients told me they saw his influence in the first couple of products I created. Of course, my products have always been from my unique slant and personality. It was just noticeable where my first foundation in marketing came from.

I never joined a “mentor” program and never spoke to him personally. Yet, I still considered him one of my mentors for the first few years because I was rabidly consuming everything he put out.

Recently I decided to give all 35 CDs and audio tapes from his 2002 Mastermind Marketing Program as a free giveaway on April 6th to one person who makes a linkback to my posting. This blog received 2,116 visitors on Friday (a very high day). How many of them entered the contest by making a linkback? I only count 13 over the whole weekend.

Not a lot of people took action…and all it required from a blog posting with a link there. Interesting…

If you want to be entered for a chance to win, see the post here…

I’m doing something wrong as I’m not getting seen by you or James Brausch. I set up a Blogger page at the above website address. I turned on the two areas in settings that Blogger required. I pasted in your trackback uri above. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

Hi Cynthia,

I’m not sure about the problem because I’ve only used Wordpress (this blog here is Wordpress on my own domain).

Try using the link only without the trackback at the end:

Hi Terry,

I am going to read some of your ebooks, I already have these:

Magical Formula
Insider Secrets To Email Marketing
Killer Ad Bootcamp

I am going to create my product and market it with your techniques soon, and then I may hire you for an hour when I make my first sale.

Note: currently, I am a pure affiliate, but I discovered that the best way to do affiliate marketing is to have your own products.

I’d highly recommend you pick up some of the newer products such as http://www.myinfomastery.com or http://www.myemailmastery.com to help you get started quicker.
