“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” ~ John C. Crosby
What is mentoring?
Mentoring is simply the process of getting alongside people to support them in their personal, spiritual or professional development. The Mentoring process takes many forms and there are many types of mentors.
You can expect a mentor to be somewhere between a ‘trusted friend’, ‘a guide’ and a ‘counselor’.
Mentoring is a proven process and works well in most environments, such as school, professional, personal and spiritual. Most of the time when you speak to successful people, they will tell you that they have had mentors.
I can promise you that by the time you finish this article, you will understand the need for the proper mentorship and more importantly, the Mentorship and Coaching of a community that can help you take your business and your life to the next level.
What is Your Struggle ?
If you are like me and many others and have struggled online in the past or you may be struggling now and not had the support you deserve, there is a solution to that challenge.
When you are first starting out, it can be very frustrating when you don’t see immediate results and you are spending more money that you are earning. You are probably having a difficult time generating leads, you lack support and guidance, you are not able to retain your downline and get them to duplicate, you have no idea how to truly brand YOU, have no idea about who your target market is or your ideal customer and many more problem areas and you have no answers.
Believe me, you are not alone….but, you don’t have to be a lone wolf and you can have the support you desire.
There are many reasons why people fail in this Industry and here are just a few:
1. Never Fully Commit: If a person fails to fully commit to achieving success in any given area of their life, they are automatically headed for mediocrity at best and most likely failure. If you are jumping from one opportunity to the next or just pitching and spamming your opportunity links without first offering value or building a rapport, you are not making the commitment to succeed.
2. Spending Time with the Wrong People: This is The Most Frustrating Path to Failure. If you are not spending time with Mentors and Leaders that are caring and willing to share the “Right Way” to build an online presence and to brand YOU, your road to success will be long and winding.
Hint: Spamming all your connections in your social media sites and pitching your links to everyone as soon as you meet them DOES NOT work. You must practice Attraction marketing and the Consultative Approach
3. Incorrect Focus: Is your focus on Challenges and Obstacles Rather than your Vision of what YOU want to create?
There will always be challenges and obstacles in anything worth doing. If you focus on them, they grow; but if you focus on your Vision, your Vision grows. Here is my vision…
Many Networkers suffer from the shiny new object syndrome and jump from one program to another and lose focus and feel overwhelmed.
Whether you are a “newbie” in this Industry or just a frustrated, struggling Networker trying to find your way and find the right Coaches and Mentors to show you that way, there is a solution.
If any of the above sounds like YOU… be happy you are reading this article…
Here is Your Solution…
When you conduct your due diligence, you will find that there is a training platform that teaches, mentors and supports team members that have a goal to build a business online or offline and generate their own leads.
This program offers Top Level Mentorship and a complete training curriculum that will allow YOU to brand YOURSELF and stand out from the crowd.
This is done by offering Daily Support , Training And Guidance Through A Unique Online Community, so that you NEVER feel like you are doing this alone. It is NOT easy to build YOUR online presence, brand YOU and build your business. It takes time and you can’t do it by yourself.
The best and fastest way to reach your full potential is to work with a Mentor who has already done what you are looking to do and Coaches that will hold your hand and support you EVERY step of the way.
So, ask yourself if you would prefer to be part of a Mentorship community where you will get the following and so much more…
- You’ll get daily feedback, guidance and mentoring from the coaches and the community to help you set marketing goals and track your progress…
- Plus, ongoing training and webinars on the latest techniques like Pinterest, Facebook PPC, Youtube PPC and more.
- As well as copywriting, blogging, funnel creation and traffic generation.
Now, I don’t expect you to just take my word for this, so here is an example of some of the community members are saying…
“It’s time to make a full out commitment to building my business, I have found my home in Daily Marketing Coach with Ann Sieg and her 80/20 marketing team. Within this training community, I am finding action training, coaching support and of course community. I have confidence that my eight years of Attraction Marketing education is now foundational to my success online. It’s a good day.”
“Ann Sieg, you have created something for all of us that is perpetually becoming better and better thanks to the people you attract! I feel gratitude to you and I feel happy and at home here! It is a place to grow where peoples talents can flourish with no glass ceiling!”
Much Love,
Stella

Hi Marc
Nice post.
One thing I think we miss in all of this, and the fact newbies do bounce from one thing to teh next, is that they have not learnt, yet, that teh next shiny thing will deliver what people promise, and that they may not get teh help for them to succeed –
Perhaps we need more of us explaining that people do need a plan before they need the program – and often it would make no difference to they whet the program was – once they had a plan they would get anything to work.
Why not get mentoring from day one?
I think people do not see the need for it – as the promises make it all sound so easy. Is it just the people who now want a return on often huge investments that then is a last dash to make it work, turn to a mentor.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment…it is greatly appreciated.
I feel for the newbie and the struggling Networkers who just follow the herd and don’t have a plan or know who to listen to.
They do need to be educated first, but they need to acknowledge the fact that Mentorship and Coaching are important if they want long term success.
To your success,
Marc
Mentorship really is the key to being successful in an online business. Its leveraging the knowledge and experience of those who have come before you. Learning from the mistakes that they have already made in order to avoid them. This isn’ t to say that you won’t make mistakes yourself, but with a mentor available to truely be there for you, the pain is a little less. And most importantly, the learning is a lot more.

Hi Clint,

The proper Mentorship and Coaching will accelerate the learning curve and put a participant on the proper road for success.
But, like with anything else, we have to conduct our due diligence when choosing the proper Mentor, Coach or community.
To your success,
Marc
@Marc,
You know I think that would be a great post. “How To Pick Your Mentor, A Seven Step Guide”
I am sure a lot of people would get some great value out of it.
Hi Marc again you have a fabulous teaching well done post here. And this part ***you have no idea how to truly brand YOU*** make me laugh, because this is so true. I do know a little more, but i like to come here because each time i learn so much. And of course attraction Marketing is way better then spamming our link all over the social media network. We need foundation this is for anything thing we build in life. Thank Marc i’ll come back.

Hi Helene,

One of the most important lessons that any networker can learn is to truly understand how to brand YOU, Inc.
Most people brand a system or a Leader, but they don’t brand YOU, Inc.
One of the best ways to do that is to earn that all important know, like and trust and you do that by practicing Attraction marketing principles and adding value first.
To your success,
Marc
Hey Narc…
Overwhelm can stop you dead in your tracks. It can paralyze you. And certainly as you have mentioned, your circusyance, family, the people you socialoze with can add to it. I had to let go of some friendships that were really negative – it was really hard to do.. but I have been better off. No more negative conversations. They made me nuts! No more .. sometimes you just have to do let go … Having someone to bounce ideas around with is good too, stirs the creative pot and helps to keep you moving … Like you! 🙂
You’re a great role model and no wonder your son is making you so proud because of your positive example …
@Lesly Federici,
Hi Lesly ( with a “Y” )
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment…it is greatly appreciated.
I really appreciate YOU and thanks for the comment about being a role model for my son.
I totally agree that it is so important to remain positive and to surround yourself with positive people and eliminate as much negativity as possible in your life.
This is a major reason for online business people to feel overwhelmed…
To your continued success,
Marc
Hi Marc,
I agree that jumping into the world of Network Marketing with no guidance, no training and no support is VERY overwhelming.
If I had to make that leap of faith all over again, I would certainly do it differently, like align myself within a group where I can be mentored. It will certainly save a lot of headaches and frustration.
It is like flying an airplane. Lots of preparation and training needed in order to get off the ground safely.
Keep spreading the word, that there is help out there.
@Princess Shimari,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment…it is greatly appreciated.
I like your analogy of flying an airplane…you are right, it is a lot of preparation and you need the proper guidance system so we don’t crash and burn.
Proper mentorship and training is key…
To your success,
Marc
Hey Marc,
Mentorship is definitely essential in this business no matter how much we have achieved. I was watching one of Ray Higdon’s videos the other day and he was talking about how much he was spending on his own personal development to improve different aspects of his life.
Even the top sportsmen, like Tiger Woods, have coaches. They serve as a pair of eyes that can give us an objective point of view. Having a mentor in this business also means having someone we have to be accountable towards, and it will definitely spur us moving forward knowing we have to answer to someone other than ourselves.
A community, as what you have mentioned is definitely an alternative route that one can take, or complement with what I previously talked about.
Thanks for the article!

Hi Darren,

Mentorship is essential in this business as we have to be a continuous learner and keep improving if we want to stay on top.
Always working on your own Personal development is a key ingredient.
As you mentioned, even those that are the top in their field seek Mentorship to keep learning and stay on top.
People would be amazed if they new how many of today’s top earners struggled until they found the right mentors and Coaches.
To your success,
Marc

Hi Marc,
Have to say that as I am now building my online brand properly, for the first time, I can say I truly understand the need for mentoring and the support of a community, especially that which I have experienced so far here in Gavin’s mastermind teams.
I have also taken some time to work through your site here and wow, what a gold mine of information, advice and inspiration it is !
Well done for that, I know a lot of people now that I aspire to be like…and you just joined that list!

Thanks & Regards
