A mentor to learn from

I don’t know what kind of house you grew up in but take a moment to think about it. What did you learn? What is your thought process like? How do you solve problems? I grew up in the country in Zambia. My family was poor. They did not know how to handle money. They had no check book. They had no concept about business. Nothing! Therefore it follows that my thought process is completely devoid of wealth concepts. Yet my parents are people I admire. But they could not teach me about wealth or how to handle money. Now I have a mentor. Someone who has experienced tremendous success and we are all excited to see if our relationship is going to yield a balanced successful family contributing to the world by assisting 1,000s of people achieve wealth through network marketing.

Here is another friend’s story. I’ll call him Angelo. Angelo was taught how to survive not to succeed. Growing up as a child in the city of New York he was taught how to survive. They did not teach much about success. They did not teach much successful living under the conditions. They did not teach much success full living under the circumstances. So Angelo made decisions in a certain way. He learnt how to process things like we all do unintentionally. He did not intentionally learn survival. Angelo had no direction in life accept the direction that was given to him by the people that where raising him. The odds are that is what happened to you as well. This is true about me. Your direction has to do with your thought processing which is acquired through someone else, and this has got you to the place in life that you are.

Now I have chosen change. I have chosen that, ‘I will learn what it takes to succeed’. You can choose to change. That is great. In addition to change we also have to choose to change the way we process things. We have to learn the thought process and learning the problem solving process necessary to create business and wealth.

To illustrate this point I will talk about sport. Everybody has generally been involved in, or watching or knows someone involved in a sport. Whether you are watching an individual or a team you will know they all have coaches. In most cases these people have played the sport and can therefore teach those  starting. they can teach them the basics. A coach can make you understand things about the sport that don’t make sense to them. A coach helps them change they process things and how they see things.

In boxing, some of the coaches are not even people who have played the sport. Maybe they box a little but never on a championship level. Here they are they maybe even coaching the champion of the world. They have never been a champion in boxing. They  are a champion at coaching because they can get people to see the thought process necessary.

Have you heard of life coaches. Many exceptionally wealthy people have a life coach. This is someone that they talk to not just about finances but about life itself.  We have heard of the Kennedy family. There is a Kennedy compound. Once a year there is a big Kennedy compound where many invited guests go to. What do they talk about there? They talk about a little bit about everything. Everybody there has some great experiences in life and they share them. What do you think the children hear? The children are just playing and running around. But they hear also a lot about wealth. They hear a whole lot about handling and processing money. Don’t they? You better believe they do.

On life span is not long enough to make all the mistakes and all the corrections. Therefore it is much easier if we can learn from other people.That is mentorship or counselling. I’ll dig more into it another day.
