Yes, You Can Take a Millionaire Mentor to Lunch

And you may just find yourself with a new mentor when you do.

Investing money in yourself to be mentored by an expert is a key strategy to personal success and business success. Every year, for the past 10 years now, several new ideas I’ve had originated from the time and money I’ve invested to be with successful mentors.

A mentor is invaluable

There is no such thing as a self-made millionaire. It really does take a village. Everyone has had help with some phase of professional development. You can go a long way toward life mastery and business success with books, audios and home study courses. But eventually you will want to have mentors with whom you communicate and interact on a regular basis. There are great professional development mentors to be found right in your own hometown.

Make a list of those people who intrigue you with their achievements in business success. Then, ask the first one for coffee or a lunch meeting. Repeat this process with each one as you refine your professional development questions to get the most out of the time you have together.

And, don’t forget to ask how you can be of service to each of these people. Did I just catching you wondering what you could do for a millionaire? I hope not, because that would be really poor thinking. Your unique gifts and talents may be highly desirable to your new mentor and you’ll never know if you don’t offer. See what you can help with.

When I was beginning this process, I was surprised that busy, successful people were willing to take the time to share their secrets of personal success with me. All you have to do is ask! You may be surprised to find they will even pass on to you professional development strategies that they have learned from their mentors.

An attitude of openness to possibility is essential. Keep your eyes and ears open, and have enough faith in yourself to make quick decisions and go for it. Don’t ever be afraid to pay someone for his or her knowledge. In fact, seek out people you can pay to save you time and struggle. It’s the best investment you can make.

The rewards you reap in saving years of trial and error, not to mention the strong possibility that you may never learn on your own the personal development strategies that they are willing to teach you, is more than worth the investment.

Recently I was at an event where I had the opportunity to network with some of the most brilliant marketers. Some were already friends and some I was meeting for the first time. We brainstormed about business and personal success over meals and in the hallways during breaks in the meetings and in the bar at night.

You’ll find that successful people love helping other people succeed. We all share an attitude of “let me tell you what’s working for me now” that allows everyone to take advantage of each others discoveries and business success strategies.

Yes, we’re all in the same business as marketers, speakers and authors; but we are building strategic alliances rather than looking at each other as competitors.

It’s a good idea to associate with the people who are already in the place of where you want to go, or an expert at getting people there.
