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.

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.

Mentoring by association

One of the greatest needs in business is the need for a mentor. I am fortunate to have a mentor, a successful man who has built several multimillion dollar businesses who by the grace of God has come into my life and is willing to guide me through the thought process required to achieve the levels of success I have in mind. I also have other mentors that I tap into through books, CDs and DVDs, live seminars and meetings. Another great way to be mentored is through association. This is what I am going to discuss. Success has been studied and we know the attributes that one needs to acquire success. Success can be learned so that guys like me, a poor country boy from Africa, can be just as successful as anybody with all the supposed advantages of life.

Mentoring and counselling has to be learned. This is an area that I have to spend a lot of time on as I had no idea how to set up a million dollar business. In fact everybody has to learn, sometimes a little bit on one subject and a lot on other subjects, or a lot on most subjects like me. Why mentoring? Why counselling? Here is a story.

There was a certain man, a kind of crazy guy who has a lot of fun, nice to be around with, just a great guy. Let’s call him Jack. One day he was at home when his friend Chris called on the phone. Whilst talking to Jack, Chris recognised that something was wrong. He told Jack to go sit down and call his wife. Jack did what Chris told him to do. He sat down and called his wife. By the time Jack’s wife came it was clear the something was terribly wrong. A doctor was called and Jack was taken to hospital and was there for three weeks with a serious heart problem. A flutter in his heart was found, a little rhythm out of line. Because the rhythm was out of line, Jack’s blood pressure was going down and everything was changing

Now Chris was not a doctor yet he quickly established something was wrong and, by arranging for quick action from Jack’s wife, Jack’s life was saved and everything was all right. If that was me, knowing Jack, I would have said “You acting crazy! Go to bed!”. I would not have recognised the serious situation that Jack was in. Now Chris is not a doctor, he is not a nurse; he has absolutely no training in the medical field. But Chris’s father was a doctor who had his practice at home. By Chris being around when Dad was practicing, when Dad was diagnosing or listening to and talking to a patient a lot of information was being fed into Chris without any effort on his part, whether he realized it or not. So that when Chris called Jack, he recognised the symptoms of heart failure and was able to get help quickly.

When we talk of mentoring and counselling you may think that involves the mentor telling you what to do. That is not it at all. The whole thing is about a thought process. My thought process has got me where I am today. That thought process was a learned process. I have learned how to process things in a certain way. Chris grew up around a doctor and he learned how to process and recognise certain things unconsciously. Chris had a doctor to listen to. If you have a father who is a doctor and perhaps a mother who is a doctor too, when they are home and discussing certain conditions in their field there are a lot of things that you will learn automatically. You will have the ability to process certain problems. You will have some background in that area.

If you have a lawyer in your family, then there will be some legal things that will come to you automatically. If you associate with an auto mechanic you will hear a sound in your motor and your mind will recall, you will remember what was said about an engine sounding a certain way. If you have someone in your family climbing that corporate ladder, someone who is in a traditional business, there are certain thing that you are going to learn by simply being around them. You are going

to learn how to process thoughts a certain way and you are going to learn how to solve problems a certain way. That is mentorship.

The same thing holds with wealth. Perhaps you’ve got somebody in your home that is wealthy, maybe Mum and Dad are quite wealthy, maybe you have a wealthy Uncle somewhere. If you are around them then you are going to learn certain things about wealth that other people won’t know. If you are in a middle income family you are going to learn certain things as well. How you process things in a certain way, how you handle money, what you do with it, how you use it, how you solve problems about it, or with it, are all determined by your learned thought process.

The same thing holds true if you are in a low income family. There are certain things you are going to learn about money and wealth. There are certain things you are going to learn about problem solving and other things. What is interesting is that none of them are learned intentionally.

If this strikes a chord and you feel you need to learn these principles, then sign up to Success University or sign up for free for two weeks just to check it out. You will join a team of entrepreneurs growing global Internet businesses around the world. We will be there to help you develop into the next millionaires through networking.
