They have a full cup. You can't teach a tire kicker anything. They 'know too much' but they are broke.
Most think by reading one book, they figured it out.
Most think one phone call with a Mentor will do it and suddenly - they are off doing the same actions that's got them broke.
No patiance to first learn. Wait, communicate, ask questions, take notes, study, evaluate and respect the mentor.
It's like they are itching to get busy, create strategies here and there. And what most don't realise.....the qualifying is not over.
They just showed the reason on why they are not ready for Mentorship.
Most have created websites, blogs, that do not tell the full picture. There's no connection with what they are passionate about.
And someone right now - will take this article and suddenly think they figured it out and go out there to now create plans, designs, strategy - the full process.
That's why, I've now tightened up the qualifying process. In three weeks, none will have my time, until they fill the application form online and pay first.
When people pay, they get real serious especially when it's from $600-$3,000 and $5,000. Then, they come back to get consistent mentorship and they become very patiant.
Hey, they now paid so now, they respect the Mentorship program and know, there's no refund. Either get with the program or they lose it all.
Why Home Business Owners Keep Starting Again...
I’ve bought books after books, online lead generation systems, courses, joined membership websites to Mentorship programs.
I’ve even travelled, paid for expensive courses, but had no hotel money, so I’d sleep outside on a bench. So anyone giving me sad story on how broke they are - wake up.
You're not the only one who struggled and the world does not owes us anything.
Even after all that, I still didn’t know how to…
1. Attract leads, prospects, traffic.
2. Convert prospects to clients.
3. And sell stuff and make the….sale!
I wondered why I was having trouble and so, I took a step back.
Yes, I started all over again but this time it was different.
I hired a Mentor who I communicated with at a weekly basis. He has a straight talker attitude and had no time for people who make excuses or unreliable.
Unreliable, to the extent where people think they can fix years by one phone call with a mentor and suddenly leave to, “create stuff, plan, implement.”
I remember what he said to me and it was one of the wake up calls that helped me to approach the business world with maturity...
“You’re going to what? Create a plan? Create websites? Strategise?He was right.
Empty that cup of yours as I cannot pour into the knowledge you need.
Stop doing what has messed your business or go to someone else, and strategise. You’re broke because you impulsively strategise before learning the fundamentals.
It took me years to learn and you think you’ve learnt everything from one phone call?”
It was time to grow up, be patient and become humble, to listen and learn.
That’s when I didn’t react anymore.
Even at that time, I had no money but went to work in the day, weekends and evenings to pay for the Mentorship. You can make excuses or make it happen – but you can’t do both!
Through the months and late nights, I studied, applied, and tested the process.
It took time to figure out how keyword research, seo, blogging, autoresponder, email newsletters, facebook, twitter work together as a well oil marketing machine.
Why Most Lack Direction...
Somewhere down the line, the direction was lost along the way.
It cannot be amended by more impulse actions.
You won’t learn what you need with one phone call from a mentor. You won't learn where you need to start and how from one ebook and one course.
The same mind that caused the problem cannot fix the problems you are facing today.
Whether it is leads, cash flow, converting prospects to sales.
You think that your problem are these but they are not.
Most have seen the results of their impulse planning, strategizing, buying and getting busy when all they had, was one slight sneak to the window of knowledge.
Months or years have gone by and they have gone back to square one – many a times. Or their income has dwindled to zero.
So Mentorship is not a one day thing and if that’s what anyone is looking for, then go out there and strategise till your hearts content.
I don't mentor people who are not teachable, patiant, willing to listen and first learn.
First become a student of the business. First graduate. First understand the process and learn to think for one self.
First reflect and be consistent to communicate with your Mentor.
First, speak of your plans to the mentor and listen with humility and you may have prevented yourself in wasting more time on craziness.
People fail miserably due to lack of direction and that lack of purpose. That purpose was replaced by get rich, money now and the fear of 'what if..'
Well, dear friends...
You've done that for how many years? You did that in a job. Has it accumulated wealth? It always went back to zero and more in debt!
Has that chase done any good?
NO! It has made so many broke because they live in the fear and fell for the game that only traps people to lose their way.
In doing so, the person loses their voice, their work is not unique, and their story has no connection to what they are doing.
The same mindset, habits are being applied to people's own business. And for one to wake up, they need someone who is brave enough to say what they NEED to hear and not what they WANT to hear.
No matter what happens - you can't teach someone who thinks they know it all and yet broke to the bone.
They'll whine, complain, cry over how they were used, abused and deserted. They'll plea, beg for help and how they'll do their best. That they'll pay it back.
You can't pay back to someone who has value already, who doesn't need the pay back and who doesn't care about excuses.
When help does come along, they are very, very, very slow on the taking.
But....they'll fall for the hype, the slick website, the slick videos of a blue print that even the freaking guru doesn't teach.
It be one video of them talking and 99% is someone else teaching. And the part where it said..
"You will be lead by 7 figure income Mentors," becomes videos and downloads and a forum.
No where in sight are these 7 figure income mentors who suppose to lead people by hand.
Except when they want to record the activity of the forum to show for a new course they'll be launching.
If any fall for that and spend $5,000 and nothing happens - don't cry to the Mentor who was there, ready to help, all the way but most didn't give a damn because they were looking for a slick website.
Get real, wake up and observe who the real leaders are.
You'll be surprised at the value and what you may learn from those who don't have shiny websites.
And if not...
Don't complain when such people rise and get to that stage and charge $3,000 a time for Mentorship.
