How To Find A Mentor For Your Business by paddyDIGITAL(m): 8:36pm On Jan 04, 2021
How do you find a mentor who can help you create the life you really want? Is it by what people show you on social media, or those cars people brag about they sometimes can barely afford?

All the money screenshots people post on social mean nothing if they’ve helped no one except themselves. Truly, all the smiling selfies on the beach don’t always tell the whole story.

When searching for a mentor for your business, you should ask yourself a few things:
✔ Have they actually helped people or only helped themselves? (99% have only helped themselves)
✔ Do they actually add value or just brag about how much money they make daily?
✔ Do they represent your core values and beliefs?

People easily get impressed by money screenshots or what people buy (which can be faked by the way). Someone’s lifestyle doesn’t help you one bit.

The qualities you should look out for when choosing a mentor:
✔ They care about their customers.
✔ The ability to teach you to level up your thinking in your personal life and business.
✔ Being family oriented and very balanced in their personal life which is something you want for yourself.
✔ They are motivated by impacting others more than how much money they can make for themselves.
✔ They are very direct, does not sugar coat things, and will call you out on your business. This forces you to constantly play big and stop making excuses. By surrounding yourself with people like these, their beliefs, values, and morals rub off on you.

So when looking for someone to learn from, don’t look for someone who posts money screenshots on social media. This is not helpful to you one bit. Sure, it motivates you for what is possible, but generally, it makes you feel worse that you don't know how to create those types of results. Make sure they’re a good person and can help you level up in your life. At different points in your life, you will need different mentors to teach you different business and life skills.

Finally, never go to a mentor with the attitude of “help me” for free. This is basically saying “I don’t respect your time”. Never expect your mentor to do the work, to constantly motivate you and make you feel good. A real mentor will not tolerate your small-minded thinking; he will call you out when you make excuses, because he expects you to work to your full potential.

Someone who just posts cute quotes and makes you feel good at the moment is not a mentor. Motivation is very short-lived. You want to surround yourself with mentors who will push you to grow up, level up, and take action to reach the goals you set for yourself.
