Mentorship: The Only Way To Success?

Some tend to think that success comes to those who are lucky…or maybe at the right place, at the right time, with the right people (like here & now)…. Then again, there are those who – like me – don’t necessarily believe in luck but tend to believe that you get to where you want to because of a or several Mentors.

When the student is ready…The teacher will present him or herself.

I’ve always had a mentor. Plain and simple. I may not have realized it at the time but one thing was always for sure; I always had someone who was there to help me get through whatever I needed to get through and more importantly, there to make sure I understood the repercussions of my choices – the good and the bad.

For many, a mentor may represent someone looking over their shoulder and telling them “don’t do that” but to me, a Mentor is a guide, someone who truly wants you to succeed and will go over and above what’s required of them to see to your success.

That’s why there’s that old saying:”when the student is ready…the teacher will present itself”.

Haven’t you ever found it funny that just as you’re asking yourself “how am I going to get this done?”, a Mentor presents themselves and without you realizing it, you get more than the answers you were looking for?

For me, the team at Internet Profits is that Mentorship. For the past several years, I’ve been looking at every shinny object there was and unfortunately, when it came to Internet Marketing, I just wasn’t in the presence of people who truly wanted my success; that’s not the case at Internet Profits.

I’ve never been so pumped (pardon the pun) as what I see as possibilities for 2024 – even after the pandemic and everything that came with it, I’m just flabbergasted with the possibilities that are opening up and the team at Internet Profits is a good reason for me to feel that way.

Asking for help: one way to succeed!

It’s never easy but asking for help is definitely one way where you’ll find yourself closer to your success than anything else if you take the time to do so. Many times, not asking is a definite way to failure.

Not listening to what Mentors have to say is another sure path to failure; many people tend to first yell out “I know how to do this” without having any inkling whatsoever as to how to getting it done.

You’ll always see successful people always have one or several Mentors making sure that they are on the right path to their success! It may not be easy but one thing is for sure; it’s a lot easier with the help of someone who either has already gone through there or, at minimum, knows the pitfalls you’ll face.

Ready for a Mentor? Be open to criticism and everything else!

So you decided that you’d be open to having a Mentor but on your terms…. Ok..well, it doesn’t necessarily work that way but one thing is for sure; if you’re not open to criticism, you’re “outta luck” my friend!

You have to understand that a Mentor will be there to help you through the rough patches but more importantly, they’re there to help you go through the whole education part of learning this bit of whatever you’re going through!

A Mentor isn’t meant to always be in the same wavelength as you… They’re there to open your options and more importantly: Make you see that different options have different outcomes and that sometimes the road you’re on may not necessarily be the one you should be on! Crazy right??

Mentors: the next best thing since sliced bread!

Years back, I would have told you otherwise but one thing is for sure; I wouldn’t go forward these days without a Mentor anymore. There are too many pitfalls and more importantly, too many options these days that if there’s one thing that you definitely need? a Mentor! Heck, make that several!

I’ve been fortunate enough to not only have Mentors around me but I’ve also been able to surround myself with fellow Internet Profits Members who are part of what we call our “Accountability Group”. You know, walk the talk…do what we were supposed to do from one week to another! Be accountable for our actions!
