Increase your Value as an Entrepreneur …
Become A Mentor to Others
The is no shortage of people who are seeking solutions to their problems…
Only a shortage of people with the qualifications, and the heart, to serve as guides.
As Entrepreneurs, our “value” to others is DIRECTLY RELATED to the quality of information that we impart to the next person, to accelerate their growth.
*Note* … I did not say “solve their problem … or … “give them the solution”.
The role of a mentor is … “to guide a person in a path of discovery” that results in their long-term growth.
– a growth in their personal knowledgebase, through reading
– a growth in their skillsets that will lead to mastery (learning useful skills)
– a growth in their discipline daily activity (practice of useful skills provides practical experience)
– a growth in their ability to develop the right questions, and do research that provides answers
– a growth in their ability to form mastermind alliances
With growth in these foundational areas, ANY PERSON (regardless of their past life experiences) can evolve into a totally new being.
The five principles stated above are the “formula” for continual evolution … and the formula for achieving increasingly higher levels of productivity and personal satisfaction.
STUDY … PRACTICE … TEACH
Jim Rohn, (God’s peace be upon him), is one of my favorite mentors.
In one of his famous lectures, he spoke about the formula for simultaneously achieving mastery in your given field of endeavor, while at the same time serving as a powerful mentor to others.
The way to accomplish BOTH personal greatness and deliver fantastic value to others is to …
STUDY – PRACTICE – TEACH
The real value of an Entrepreneurial Mentor, is in his/her efforts to Establish A Culture of studying/practicing/teaching the Five Fundamental Principles of personal evolution that have been outlined above.
Not just a business person who wants to acquire fame and riches for himself and family, but someone who also wants CHANGE THE WORLD!
To really understand how to deliver value as a Mentor, do we have to look any further than the example of the thought leaders and innovators of our time?
Bill Gates – Microsoft (Comuputer Operating Systems)
Steve Jobs – Apple/Pixar (Graphics/Animation)
Ben Carson – Neurosurgeon (Medicine)
A.L. Williams – Primerica (Insurance)
Napolean Hill – Personal Achievement
…. and countless others.
Each person … first studying a craft, practicing and developing skillsets – while recording results, and teaching what they have discovered to countless others.
Your true value as a Mentor is not only measured by how well you do, but how many people you have helped to see and understand your path.
Record what you have done and arrange your discoveries in a way that gives a clear path for others to also succeed.
If you are interested in building your mentorship skills with me, then I encourage you to investigate the global community of thought leaders that I am a part of.
