The Third Solution

Learning from other people will save you a whole lot of time. This is mentoring or counselling in business. We study and put into practice these principles in network marketing . “ Man I just want to find a couple people that will do this thing.” The better thought process would be, “To find a couple people that will let you help them do this business. To look for some people that would allow you to help them.” See the difference?

Driving in some strange place, there was a sign that said. “Road failure ahead!” I know that we all understand all three words. You understand ‘Road’ you understand ‘failure’ and you understand ‘failure’. What I understood was, “There is something wrong ahead and I don’t know what it is”. In counselling if you are around your mentor then he/she can help you interpret the signs. You can read words but they may not mean anything. If you are willing to ask for help in business a mentor can help you interpret the signs.

A mentor does not necessarily sit down to teach. And you do not necessarily ask questions because many times you don’t even know the question. Being with a mentor we learn things we did not know before. If you are like me a mentor teaches me stuff because I did not come from a place where certain things were taught. I did not come from a wealthy family so I did not understand anything about wealth. I did not know how to handle money. But by being around a wealthy person and seeing how they handle money. By listening to my mentor and hearing him answer questions. Listening to him talk about what he is going to do and what he is doing now helps me understand what it’s about.

It gets exciting, having someone to bounce your thoughts of on, your perfect thoughts. When my thoughts are running around in my head I assure you they are perfect. They are so good. Did you ever say something but on its way out of your mouth you realise that is a daft thing to say and you wish you could catch your words and take them back? When you find a mentor that you can trust, that you can talk to. When you say something stupid they will laugh along with you not at you. You knew it was silly, you will laugh and they will laugh with you. You can get the thought out in the air, sort it out and make it work.

Counselling in business is someone to hear when you think out loud. Do you talk to yourself? With a mentor you can think out loud and he/she can add to it. If your processing is a little different he can help with that too. A mentor helps you read the road signs. In network marketing the roadmap is there. You can see the signs but you may not necessarily read the signs. Having a mentor is to have someone help you read the signs someone to help you interpret what you are seeing, interpret what you are feeling.

The bigger the business the more you need someone. When it is only you it does not really matter. It does not take much to put one person on track. When it is you and three or four more people it takes a little more, because now you have to take time to bring them back too. The worst part is that you have mislead them to start with. As your business gets bigger you are leading a whole organization in a direction that you think is right. In leadership you need to get to the point where you know you are right. It is much easier to talk to a mentor and take an organization in the right direction than to think you are right and take an organization in the wrong direction and then try and bring them back. When you have your mentors advice and you know you are right, firstly you will feel better when you know you are right, you can do it with more enthusiasm because you know everybody is going to be OK. You have the stamp of approval.

Don’t misinterpret this. You do not have to ask your mentor anything, really. You choose to. You choose to because asking a mentor is the best for you and your family and you know it is the best for all the families that are involved in your business. Do you need your mentors approval. A good mentor will never ask you for his approval. You may have a problem and on thinking about a solution you come up with two solutions. You discuss these with your mentor and your mentor comes up with a third and even better solution that you never even thought about. That’s mentorship.
