How to Select a Coach and Mentor

Success in Network Marketing means that we, as leaders,

Understand the value of personal growth, developing and continuing to develop skills that we then pass on to others.

Many people bring specific skill sets with them; some bring no skills at all. EVERYONE should have a Mentor or a Coach to either hone their skills or to establish what skills they need to acquire.

What criteria should we use to find the most effective Mentor or Coach? First we should discern whether we want a Mentor or Coach. There IS a difference.

A Coach is someone who can ascertain the value of any skills we bring to the table and then show us how we might use or assimilate them into our Network Marketing career to benefit ourselves AND our prospects and organization. A coach is someone with whom we personally interact.

A Mentor is someone we respect; one who has a proven track record in the industry. We seek to emulate AND learn from them personally or as a distance learner. A Mentor does not have to be someone you personally interact with; it can be someone whose material and body of work we study and then USE to enhance our personal growth and development.

1- We look for a person whose own personal growth allows them to be open-minded and be able to hear, listen and understand OUR needs rather than allowing their ego to get in the way or imposing their needs on us. They are not judgmental.

2- Their intention is to help YOU grow rather than allowing their ego to get in the way.

3- Look for someone whose personality will not conflict with yours. Make sure they have the education, background, experience and success to actually be your coach or mentor. One does not need a PHD to be an effective coach or mentor however they DO need to have some experience in relating to people in a positive way, and they have to be a Compassionate Marketer… one whose desire is to help you attain YOUR goals and dreams.

Many people pose as mentors and actually have no experience in Network Marketing, nor have they attained a track record of Success.

Be careful when selecting your Coach or Mentor. Make sure that they actually have the experience and skill sets to positively impact your life, your personal growth and your future.

In DEED, make sure you select someone who is a Compassionate Marketer and one who cares about YOUR success!

Remember, Success in Network Marketing means that we, as leaders, understand the value of personal growth and we continue to develop skills that we then pass on to others. When we have the right Coach they should encourage us to select one or two Industry Icons to help us continue our education.

Remember the secret in learning is to Take Action on what you learn. It is called Applied Knowledge.

Some industry icons (Mentors) that will enhance your personal development are Jim Rohn John Maxwell Brian Tracy Big Al Tom Schreiter Above all, remember that The Law of Intention invokes and jump starts The Law of Attraction so make sure that your INTENTION is to find the very best fit in a Coach or Mentor!
