MLM Success Secret - Mentoring, The Shortest Path to Success

Mentoring is a huge part of MLM success. Whether you are the giver or the receiver of mentoring, a price cannot be placed on helping or being helped by another human being.

First, I would like to give some advice to the Mentor. Be a good Mentor. No, be a great Mentor! Be willing to go the extra mile to coach those whom you sponsor into your business as well as their downline. Be as available as you can and offer solid guidance with a heart of making those you serve better and more successful than you. In my experience and observation, God blesses those who serve other human beings for their benefit. Mentoring gives the giver a great feeling to be of service to others. It also brings wealth to a Mentor who helps others to gain wealth because you will ALWAYS reap what you sow!

However, it is futile to mentor someone who does not deserve your time and effort. It is not a wise investment of your time to mentor anyone with a “welfare mentality;” one who will not lift a finger themselves to gain success. There are plenty of people out there that “desire” to be successful, the question is; do they deserve it! By deserving it, I mean, are they willing to follow your instructions? Are they willing to take one step for themselves so that you can take two steps for them? Beware of the person with a “welfare mentality.” These folks will suck you dry!

This world is loaded with people who would rather buy a lottery ticket than invest $1 or one hour into themselves or their business. Did you ever wonder why so many people fall for those internet scams? The main reason is that people are seeking an easy way; a do nothing for something way. You can’t mentor this kind of person, so don’t waste your precious time. One test to determine if you are investing or wasting your time is the feeling that you have when you are coaching someone. Are they draining you like a vampire or drawing from you like a well. The vampire will leave you feeling weak and tired. The person who draws from you will give you the sense of joy and accomplishment.

There are plenty of people out there who deserve your help. If they do, take two steps for their every one. Encourage them and work with them until they experience the thrill of success. Help them reach their dreams and you will reach yours all the faster. It is a joy to help someone deserving, so experience the joy and give yourself to the one who will work with you for their success.

Now I would like to address the person who is being mentored. The first thing you must do is to deserve the mentoring that you receive. What I mean by deserve is to be willing to do what you are told. Be willing to pay a price to make your network marketing business work. If your upline can succeed; so can you. However, you must take the same path that they took in order to get the same results that they have. Success is a science. If one person can gain wealth in a certain business, so can you. Be willing to take one step and a good Mentor will take two for you.

Don’t waste a Mentor’s time; use their time by seeking advice, encouragement and wisdom. Then do what they instruct you to do and you will succeed. I would suggest contacting your Mentor regularly until you experience some success. When you do, it is time for you to mentor someone else…and the cycle goes on. By this method huge network marketing organizations are built. Also, and most important, be grateful to your Mentor and show appreciation for all that they do for you. Lift them up whenever you can. They need encouragement too!

I belong to the largest and most successful team in the company I represent. We reached this status through the way of mentoring. My team is so awesome and I am so thankful to be part of such a family. I can’t say enough about them and I hope that you can be so blessed. I know this stuff works because I experience it!

This MLM success secret is very important for ultimate success. It is crucial to mentor people, but mentor only those who deserve your time. It is MORE important to be mentored because it’s better to be shown the way then to have to try to find the path to success by yourself. Your chances of giving up are almost 100% without a good Mentor.

Success and failure greatly depends on mentorship. To the Mentor’s I say, take care of those who entrust themselves to your coaching. To the one being mentored, honor and respect the one who invests his or her time and expertise into your life and business. To all I say that life is a blessing. Don’t waste it by giving up your dreams. If you have a dream, chances are that it was given to you by God. So go for it! Use all your talents and gifts to make your life and the lives of those around you better.
