Over the past five years, I've often spoken about the npower of words and that the words that you speak predict nyour future. You are exactly where you are in life today nbased on what you have spoken into existence. One word nthat has been a very powerful part of my individual n(personal) life is *MENTOR* I want to break down the true meaningnbehind the word 'Mentor' for you. Mentor broken down basically meansn-- *Tour Guide* - - When you go on a vacation you often say,nn'I don't want to waste my time, I don't want to get nlost, I don't want to get stuck out in nowhere land, nso I am going to hire a tour guide - some one that has nbeen there over and over and over and over in life... They can guide me through the mountains, they can guide nme through the canyons, they can guide me through the nEverglades in Florida, because they are professional nTour Guide." (A Tour Mentor) You pay them to tour you through where you want to go nand take advantage of the beautiful scenery and the nbeautiful environment. For Example - Let's say you wish tontake a tour of the North Carolina MountainsnnYour ears would perk up when younhear this...nn'I am expert in the mountains of North Carolina.' That means they can charge you a fee to guide you through nthe mountains. That is what a Mentor is all about. Who is guiding you through an area younhave never been to before? It's the exact same with the Land of Success (aka Promised nLand), you must be guided by someone that has been through nthe exact thing you are going through on your journey. Not similar to or took a course on ornread a book about, but someonenwho has been through where you are right now. That is why I am considered one of the top strategic nbusiness coaches in the world because of the adversity I nhave been through. I can take people by the hand and guide nthem through the process so they don't lose their mind or nget stuck in a rut in life. That is why you need a guide... You have to have a MENTOR! I am going to ask you again... Who is your mentor? Just close your eyes and imagine that you are skiing in nColorado and don't want to get lost or risk your life.nWhat do you do? You hire a tour guide. Stop risking your success Today! Stop risking the fulfillment of your dream! Stop rolling the dice or taking a chance on the achievement nof your goal. Decide today to have a Mentor. Make sure you have someone you arenaccountable to. Make sure you have a Tour Guide on your njourney to success. I highly suggest you read this over andnover again. I suggest you print this out because this is nlife changing. Take Action Click Here to schedule an assessment session nto see where you are at in your *Success Journey*
