All right, so this is part three
of our series, "The Most Important
Questions To Ask Yourself."
In part one, we used a powerful
question to give us clarity on
what exactly we want.
And in part two, we talked about the
most efficient way to get
what you want - use a coach
or mentor.
And as promised, in this video,
I will show you how to hire a mentor
when you don't have money to hire
him. So, let's get started.
All right, so let me tell you a
story.
It is the story of the $250,000
suitcase. So imagine for a moment
that there is a suitcase with
$250,000 in
cash sitting in a lockbox
in London, and
somebody hands you the key to the
lockbox and says,
"The suitcase with all the money
is yours under one
condition, you have to pick
it up within 24 hours from now.
If you get there before the time is
up the money is yours."
Now here's the challenge.
The suitcase is in London, but
you're
not. So let's say
that you're like me in Austin,
Texas.
There's no direct flight to London
from Austin, in order to make
the timeline you have to leave
the house pretty much now,
and get on the first available
flight to London.
So, you need to organize
who is picking up the kids from
school. You make sure that they have
dinner and get to school tomorrow
while you're getting the suitcase
with $250,000.
You need to make sure that somebody
is walking the dog, and you have to
cancel an appointment for tomorrow,
or maybe even miss work.
And since it's last minute,
you probably need to buy a business
class ticket for, let's say,
$9,000.
You need to get a hotel room in
London, you'd have to take an Uber
or cab, so this trip
could easily cost you $10,000.
And you know what?
Let's say you don't have $10,000
laying around.
So, what do you do?
What would you do in order to get
the suitcase with the two hundred
fifty thousand dollars?
Now, some people might say,
"That's too much.
I can't do it."
You know what? Those are the people
who will never get rich.
But you are different,
you decide to find a way.
So you call and ask your friend to
pick up the kids from school, and on
the way to the airport you organize
a sleepover for the kids at their
friend's house, and you call your
bank and ask them to raise the limit
on your credit cards so that you can
buy the ticket, and you ask your
brother or sister or mom or dad
for their credit card since you
still don't have enough money for
the ticket.
In short, you
do everything you can to
make it happen.
Now, when people ask you why you
need help, you tell them about the
suitcase and they will
tell you that you're crazy,
but you're determined.
You tell them how important this is
for you.
And they realize that it's going
to happen whether they help you or
not. And since they are your
friends and family, they do
help you.
And you are
making it happen.
Now, it's stressful,
and some people would say, "It's
impossible!" Some people
will say, "You're crazy!"
Some people will say, "Wow,
I would never do that." But
you do.
You make it happen.
And two days later you come back
with
$250,000 and you reward yourself and
everybody who helped you.
So let me ask you, what would
you do?
If you knew that you had to get to
London within 24 hours
to get a suitcase full of money,
wouldn't you do anything you can to
make it happen?
Wouldn't you rearrange your schedule
and get the money somehow,
and just get it done?
See, there's only three reasons
why somebody wouldn't
do it.
Number one, they don't
believe that this is real.
Number two, they think
they can't do it.
And number three, they
think that it's too much
effort.
Now, why am I telling you
this story?
Well, this
is how I feel about having a mentor.
See, over the past few years, I
probably spent more than $250,000
on mentors, on coaches,
and on masterminds.
Some coaches cost me $25,000.
Some mentors asked for
a $35,000 investment, and some
masterminds that I attended
were $50,000.
And sometimes I just spent another
$5,000 in travel to get
to my coach or mentor, and sometimes
it was inconvenient.
But we already talked about it in
part two of this series.
Every single time
I invested in a coach, mentor or
mastermind, I did it
because I expected at least
a 10X return on
my investment.
Now you might think, "Sure,
it's easy for you to invest $25,000
in a mentor. You are
a multimillionaire."
I can assure you I
invested in mentors, coaches,
and masterminds long before
I was a multimillionaire.
I invested in them before
I had the money.
Every single time
I invested in a coach or mentor,
I put it on a credit card.
Why?
Because I knew
that I would get a 10X return
on investment based on the due
diligence that I did.
And if you want to know how exactly
I decided whether I should hire a
mentor or coach take a look at
my selection process in part two of
this series, I'll link to it
in the description.

So, let's continue.
Should you hire a mentor
or buy a new car?
I know this sounds like a ridiculous
question, and yet
there are some people who would
rather buy a new car and make
monthly payments on it.
You see, I would rather pay a mentor
using my credit card and make
monthly payments on that.
Why?
Because hiring a mentor or
a coach is an investment.
Buying a new car is
an expense.
So I'd rather keep driving
my old car for another year and
put the kitchen renovation on hold
and hire a mentor instead.
Since hiring a mentor is an
investment, I am sure
that I will make back the money that
I invest, and more
and then I can buy
an even nicer car.
Then I can get an even fancier
kitchen or even buy a new house.
You see, as Tony Robbins likes to
say, "It's not the lack
of resources that stops you.
It's the lack of resourcefulness."
Be resourceful and hire
the mentor you need to achieve
your goals.
Trust me, your future
self will thank you.
