hey guys in this video I'm gonna be teaching you how to get a mentor so what
is a mentor mentorship is defined as a relationship in which a more experienced
or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less
knowledgeable person towards the goal so a lot of people are really confused and
go about getting him into a wrong I get tons of emails a month about people
asking to be mentored by me and I know if I get up a bunch then people like
Gary Vee Grant Cardone and ty Lopez and other big business people are getting
loads of requests so here's the big deal you do not need their permission to be a
mentee go out and consume everything that they put out go buy all of their
books all of their courses and actually you don't even have to pay just look up
stuff on YouTube read blog posts about them everything you can find consume it
if they have taken the time to make a course or write a book they did that so
that you can learn I got a whole bunch of emails on dating advice and my top
videos were actually about dating so what I did was I made an entire course
of premium content just teaching you how to find get and keep your dream girl now
you're gonna get much more out of that than if you're just asking me a simple
question the difference is you searching for my content versus you asking me to
give you the content most of the time the mentors you love already have put
out a ton of content you just have to look for it the difference is you
putting in the work versus me putting in the work so don't ask go seek out their
stuff another thing I'm going to hit on is that books are Mentors last year I
read over 300 books and it changed my life my income my relationships is just
life-changing books for me are the best form of Mentors
this is just for me though I haven't really had the opportunity to be around
wise and older mentors but I can definitely read their books books on
money books on relationship books on sales funnel books on health they say if
you read four books on any topic you're in the top 90% of the population that
knows information about that topic so imagine how much more reputable you
would seem if you read just one book a month in your industry they say an
average CEO reads over 52 books a year and that's because there's always
something new to learn there's - always changes happening and they have to stay
on top with cutting-edge business so you need to do the same to keep learning
also there's three ways to learn you can learn from someone else you can learn
from what someone else wrote down and you can learn from your own mistakes
which one do you think is the easiest I also want to answer the question why do
you need a mentor so how did you learn to walk when you were a baby you watched
other adult professional walking humans walk no really that's how you learned we
can copy this strategy and use it to learn almost
anything else if you want to learn how to ride a unicycle shout out to Brandon
if you want to learn how to animate shout out to Yusef if you want to learn
how to create an awesome sales funnel shout out to Clarke you learn from the
experts my favorite way my favorite way to learn
is to learn from other people and that includes books this is why I mentorship
is so important if you're a fan of evolution you know that a species that
learns from its own mistakes does not live as long as a species that learns
from the mistakes of others it will just survive longer you can do the same by
learning from other people's mistakes also on mentorship I want to talk about
the differences between mentoring and hand-holding so when I was creating my
dating course I had Alex from create and go mentoring me he had created a couple
courses before and I needed help in the course creation process so he helped me
now he wasn't holding my hand but he was there to double-check my work and answer
any questions that I had we sent e-mails back and forth he would answer them in
video format and I got a lot out of just seeing his thought process about course
creation and getting more sales now notice how he didn't do the work for me
he just showed me the way this is something else that's very important
mentors aren't there to hold your hand they have a lot of other obligations but
they're there to guide you help you along the way
a lot of people think that mentors are there to do the work for them but in
reality a mentorship is when a mentor shows you the way not gives you the way
another little tip I want to give you guys is that when you're looking for
Mentors see if they have any mentors a lot of books I've read cite other books
and if I see a book cited more than twice I immediately buy that book you
can do the same with mentors maybe a lot of people have looked up to Tony Robbins
maybe a lot of people have cited Gary Vaynerchuk so what's the difference
between a mentor and a coach a mentor is deeply invested in a personal
relationship with the person that you're trying to improve the secret here is
that they have an emotional relationship with you and they want to see you
succeed now what's a coach a coach is usually paid and they're not necessarily
invested they just want the money but they have the skills and knowledge to
teach you the difference is that if you fail one of them is going to feel bad
and that's going to be a mentor so do you want to be around other people who
can mentor you you want me to be your mentor do you want a way you can track
