Do you have an idol or a mentor?

Would you like to have any mentor you want?

A mentor that you would love to ask questions about their
success to?

I have had many mentors along life’s path that I have been able
to seek guidance and answers. If you could ask anyone you like
in this world for business, life or even sports advice, who
would it be?

A Lance Armstrong? Maybe Jim Rohn? You could even ask Eric
Clapton or maybe Marshall Mathers what it was that drove them?

How about Anita Roddick who formed the body shop? Would you like
to be able to ask someone with that knowledge what to do when
tough times set in, and they do as we know!

Maybe it would be someone more spiritual like ‘Buddha’
Ghandi or Jesus?

Would you like to speak to Mel Gibson about how you could find
time to juggle family with business?

For me it was Richard Branson. I think as far as business
advice was concerned I thought, ‘you Sir Richard, would have
all my answers!’

My friends, through my research and study of coaching techniques,
I have discovered a way that I am able to ask Richard Branson
these question. How I can expand areas of my business and promote
my self more so? I would like to pass the answers on to you. You
can ask your mentor the same questions any time you like.

It’s actually a technique called ‘Mentoring’. I discovered it
whilst driving home from a family member’s house a few months
ago. Ironically I re learned it in a book I was reading a few
days later.

I was driving home thinking “How can I expand my business into
the area I really want to head in? I know little about
promotion!” I passed this big white mansion not far from my
parents home, when this question went through my head. Out side
was a Bentley and a wealthy looking gentleman, I gathered it
was his home.

I slipped into a day dream. This was my dream. I pulled up
outside the mansion and I rang the bell on the gate. Over came
the owner. It was Richard Branson! (Yeah I know he doesn’t live
in Essex!) I spoke to him. I asked him if I could have 10-15
minutes of his time? He was most kind and obliged. I told him my
predicament and that I knew nothing about marketing and he
replied that ‘none of us do when we start out. You just do it!’

He asked me what I think I should be doing. I reeled a list of
answers off. He said ‘Do you know what I would do Robert? I would
……………..’Let me tell you, I got all the answers I needed. The
next step was putting them into action!

But here’s the thing my friends.

YOU have ALL the answers you need to progress your life to the
next stage. When I coach my clients, I don’t give them the
answers. I help them find the answers themselves. I may help them
tune their philosophy a little but we have all the answers.

Take the time out and talk to your idol, your mentor, because
what it doe s is this. It gets you thinking form their
perspective.

‘What would I do if I was Lance Armstrong?’ ‘What would Anita
Roddick have done in this situation?’ ‘How about Eminem?’ What
about Timberland?’

Think from a success stance. You have the answers already. You
just need to ask the right questions?

Ask your mentor!

Ask you!

All the best.
