Shallow Thoughts with Dave Snelling

Mentoring?

I have done a lot of surfing over the past four days and keep coming across all these "Mentoring" sites. So, I thought I would share my philosophy on mentoring.

Here it is:
1. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
2. Do what you say you are going to do.
3. Share what you know, the good, the bad, the right  as well as the wrong.
4. When asked for help, give it freely with no expectation of anything in return.
5. The most important, in my eyes,  stay in contact.

Too many people in today's  world have a me, me, me mentality. Everyone wants to know what's in it for me.
I am sure you get the same emails that I do from so called "Gurus". "Join my program and make thousands!" or "No sponsoring to make thousands a month!" The list goes on and on. Then when you join you get an autoresponder series telling you "their plan" but never hear from them. These guys aren't sponsors, they are recruiters. To them it is all a numbers game. Get huge amounts of people to sign up. Take their money for three or four months then move on to the next big thing.

Let me tell ya something folks - There ain't no such thing as a free ride! You won't make thousands of dollars for not doing any work. You especially won't make it overnight. The world don't spin that way.

But, there is Hope! Follow the proven success model outline above and you will succeed. Be true to yourself and to the people you sponsor into any program and you will acheive long term success.

All business is built on trust. If people like you and trust you they will continue to do business with you. You have to realize your business isn't about your success. People could care less about your success.
You have to help them succeed. (The light goes on!) Only when you help others succeed will you truly have success.

If you build a house of cards any wind will knock it down. That is called attrition in the marketing world.

If you build a solid foundation and add bricks one layer at a time (sponsoring and helping others succeed) then over the next few years you will have built a solid house - business - that will withstand any "Wind of Change"

I would love to hear any response and your ideas on mentoring.

Yours in Success,

Dave Snelling
