5 Reasons Why You Need A Mentor

Have you ever wondered how some of the top
entrepreneurs got to where they are today – making
tens of thousands of dollars a month and sometimes
even more? They're strong on the basic entrepreneurial skills such as negotiation and marketing.

There’s a reason for that, and it’s one that rarely gets mentioned by so-called business trainers.

All successful entrepreneurs have great mentors in relevant areas of their careers.

That’s right, having a mentor or coach can be the indispensable catalyst you need to break through the sales barrier and start achieving results,
fast. These are just a few ways a mentor can fast-track your marketing success:

#1. EXPERIENCE: A mentor has already experienced
numerous successes and
failures, so they can pass all their juicy knowledge on to you in far less time. They take you through the path they've travelled before and show you how to learn the ropes.

#2. MOTIVATION: Sometimes, it can be hard to stay motivated when you’re working alone. Having a mentor can help you stay on track and set realistic goals. Motivation is like taking your bath every day. Once you stop, you stink. A mentor helps you stay motivated all the time.

#3. SAVED TIME: When you’re just starting out,
making easy mistakes is all too common. A mentor
will notice these before they happen and save you countless weeks and months of time you
would have otherwise wasted. Time is your most valuable asset, don't waste it.

#4. CONNECTIONS: If you show commitment and dedication as a mentee, your mentor will subsequently introduce you to other high-flying and prosperous entrepreneurs and contacts with strong skills. That alone would save you time of painful years marketing and networking.

#5. GUIDANCE: With so many different ways to make money online and offline, it can be hard to decide on a profitable direction to follow in your business career.
A mentor can help you realize your skills and passions, and guide you down the best path for you.

Did you know you’re 500% more likely to make money easily if you have a mentor, than if you decide to go as  a lone-ranger?

And when you look at it that way, why WOULDN’T
you have a mentor?
