There Is A Difference Between A Coach And A Mentor For Your Road To SuccessPosted by admin on August 9th, 2009

I have been doing business on the internet since 2007 and on several occassions I have been asked, ‘What is the difference between a Coach and a Mentor”?  “Which do I need or do I need both”?  The answer to the second question is, some people need one or the other and some people need both.  But all of that depends on each individual and their specfic needs.  There is a difference between mentors and coaches.

A mentor is a teacher, one who gives you the information and shows you how to do it.  when I started in 2007, I had a very special mentor.  I met her at a camp called “Enlightened Warrior Training Camp” and she was one of my roommates.  After camp this woman continued to communicate with me and took me under her wings as she began her journey of building an internet business.  Her name is Connie Ragen Green and she is now a very successful internet icon.  We would spend hours on the phone at night as she walked me through many methods, techniques and steps.  I know I frustrated her at times but she was persistent.  Although I do not hear from her much now I still believe her to be a master teacher and much of my success online is from the teaching and nurturing of Connie Green.   If you are new at building an internet business I recommend that you visit Connie  at Ebook Writing and Marketing Secrets and sign up for her teleseminars. 

On the other hand a coach on the internet is one who encourages and inspires people to take the steps neccessary to put their learned into action.  That is where I come in.  My passion is to stand in the gap and be the one who does not and will not let an individual give up.  When discouragement seems to be taking over, a coach checks your progress,  looks at the road ahead and assists you in taking one more step forward.  Reach just a little higher,  use the tools that you have to go a little farther and is there when you succeed in the endeavor.  When additional tools are needed your coach will encourage you to find another mentor with those tools or return to your previous mentor for additional training.  That is why I enjoy working with the team of Peak Potentials Training at their events when I am not writing.   You can follow me on Twitter as well.

So as you can see, there will be some people who will need a mentor who will teach them what they need to know to be successful.  Some people will be able to take action and some will need the assistance of a coach to keep them on track and moving forward down their success road.  It is all an individual situation.  Which or both is all up to you and what you want to build to create a new lifestyle for yourself.

Find People To Create A Mastermind Group To Keep You On Track And ProgressingPosted by admin on July 8th, 2009

Just this weekend I had the opportunity to spend some time with some very successful people in a mastermind session.  The outcome was outstanding and gave light to direction, technology and an insight to ideas to succeed.  A mastermind group is a group of people get together either in person or on the phone to exchange ideas and information.  It is also a way to be accountable in whatever your endeavor is.  These groups meet on a regular basis in order to stay up to date and current with what is going on with each person involved.

Some people use masterminding to grow their business or create new platforms in which to develop for the future.  This is the opportunity that I had the priviledge to be a part of this past week. It was an amazing experience  and I recommend that anyone who is serious about building and improving their business, especially online, find a mastermind group to become a part of.

You may not find a mastermind group that suits you right away so you may have to join more than one to establish the one that works best for you and your business.  Make sure that you communicate your expectations going in. If the group you get involved in does not meet those expectations, let them know where you stand then find a group that does. Once you do find a group, make sure that you are an active member to get the full benefit of the people and information that is within that group.  You will also be able to give things to share so that others in your group can benefit from you.

The Internet Is The New “Land Of Opportunity”Posted by admin on May 31st, 2009

There was a day when people came to America as the “Land of Opportunity”.  But in recent days that has changed since the drop in our economic secruity and the amounts of jobs being lost on a daily basis.  Since the average household has a computer of some kind, more and more are learning how to use them to make money online, the Land of Opportunity is now the internet or cyberspace as some know it.  The opportunities are not restricted to land per se but are now globally accessible. 

You do not need to be an expert or a technology person to take advantage of what the internet has to offer.  Many new learning and business opportunites have emmerged in this grow and expansively massived market.  With the ability to reach people around the world from you own home, more people are at least trying to build additional income to support that which has been lost through this stumble in oure economy.

The easiest way to start forging through building a business is to become an affiliate marketer on the internet.  Once you find a product or service you wish to promote then the next step is to learn better ways to drive traffic to your promotions.  You see, you do not even have to have a list or a website to make money online. Not only can you learn from someone who has already become success marketing online but you can affiliate with them and make money promoting the very sources that you learned from.  There are a few but one I recommend is from a young lady that built her business as a single Mom in Thailand.If you are looking for a down to  earth yet thorough guide to building your internet business, you will want to check  out Honest Riches  for yourself.  I did and you will be glad that you did too.

You Are Either Affecting Or Infecting Those Around YouPosted by admin on May 27th, 2009

There are two ways that you make a difference to the people around you.  Even online, what you communicate can make a difference when developing relationships.  You can infect them or you can affect them.  Obviously the later is better but what really does this mean in regards to you?  And what can you do to make sure that you are being a great influence to those around you.

To infect someone is when you express your negative or unsupporting views and attitudes to people who come in and out of your life.  The most affecte are your family and friends.  When you have a “OH Whoa is me” attitude, it can deflate the balloons of the people you spend time with the most.  Other non supportive statements are “Oh, this or that just doesn’t work”, “What a lousy day”, “You are never gonna..”, “I’m broke” and the list goes on.  A person that infesct others is one with a negative attitude and can not seem to see a brighter, more productive, prosperous side of living. They are always ready to give up.

The person that affects others is one that stands in support of the people they come in contact with.  This person has encouraging words and a sense of support no matter what their friends, family or collegues may be experiencing.  If something does not go quite as planned an affector will offer words or deeds that will help work through the challenges and not give up.

So in your world , whether it is on a personal level or a business level, are you infecting  people or affecting them.  Are you lifting people up with encouragement and support or wallowing in the mud with discouraging words and pity party suggestions.  With the economy in the slump that it is in, there needs to be more affectors and less infectors.  There is a brighter, more prosperous tomorrow ahead for so many and we need fighters and encouragers, supporters and inspirerers to lift the energy surrounding our economic futures.  It is then that we will move forward, not only as individuals but as the mighty nation that we are.  As T Harv Eker says “ Are you infecting or affecting the world around you?”

You Can Be Right Or You Can Be Rich-But You Can’t Be BothPosted by admin on May 4th, 2009

Ever heard this saying before?  I heard it just this weekend.  When I first heard it, I thought that it was ridiculous until I put it into action.  Most people think that being right will guarantee you success in a shot.  But that is not necessarily true.  To be succesful you have to educatable and willing to learn.  And continue to learn for the most part.  This means that you will not always be right.  But being open to improve and grow will get you to success and keep you there.  Sometimes being wrong or uneducated in a certain area, will open the door to a new learning experience and an opportunity to grow to higher heights.

Without tools in you toolbox you can not build a foundation let alone a structure of any strength.  The Virtual Learning Place is one of many places you can go to learn from the best of the best.  Reading books like The Hidden Secret To Think and Grow Rich is an amazing book that puts into practice the principles learned in the book of the same name.  The point is that you have to continue to water the seeds you plant in order for them to grow.  Knowledge in the water that gives life to your dreams and goals.  When you stop watering them they will die.  So, as the saying goes, you can be right or you can be rich but you can’t be both.

There Is A Right Way To Write Articles That Attract ReadersPosted by admin on April 22nd, 2009

Article writing has become a popular way to get information to the public and marketing via the internet. Some people are quite good at it and some don’t even get started because they don’t feel they have anything to say or they don’t know how to say it.  There are several things to keep in mind when setting out to write articles whether it is you first time or you have written a few articles. Let’s just talk about three important things to remember.

The first key to writing an article is to determine your subject and the type of information you would like to include in your article. The second key in writing an article is to use a format or template to make sure that the article is structured properly. The third tip in writing you article is to leave your reader wanting for more.

If you are unsure about your articles, it is invaluable that you become involved with a mentor or a model in this field who can give you pertinent advice and guide you along your journey to more effective article writing. There are formulas, templates, other tips and suggestion available.

What Will It Take For You To Achieve Financial FreedomPosted by admin on April 14th, 2009

Financial freedom is something that is sought after by a wide variety of people. But how many realize that in order to find or have financial freedom you will need to make some changes to the way you think about and handle money? You need to have a map or a blueprint of where you want to go. You will also need to realize that the way you look at wealthy and financially free individuals may need to change as well. There are several things to know that will help you to change your road to a financially free life.

Among the changes that need to happen is your ability to find someone who is already successful and role model after them. If possible, spend time with them and learn more about the steps they took to get where they are. Don’t just hear the lessons, learn them. Along with the changes you will begin to make will come opportunities to apply what you have learned. As long as you are still learning, you will continue to grow. 

When you begin to grow there is another thing that needs to be understood. Everyone has problems and money problems are one them. To be successful to the point of freedom you will need to grow yourself bigger than your problems. Financially free individuals have problems also but they have learned to be bigger than those problems making the same problems smaller in perspective. As long as your problems are bigger than you, the chances are that you will not gain the freedom and success you are trying to achieve. You have to raise the ceiling on how high you are willing to shoot . As the saying goes, “If You Shoot For The Stars, You Just May Reach The Moon”. When you get to the moon and look down, you will see that the same problems you had before are much smaller in perspective than they were before.

Mentor or Coach - Is There A Difference And Which Should You ChoosePosted by admin on March 19th, 2009

There seems to have arisen the question of the difference between a Coach and a Mentor.  Or is there a difference.  Yes, there is a significant difference between the two.  So what is that difference and which should you choose for your needs and future success.

A Coach is a person who is more like an encourager, motivater of cheerleader of sorts.  They are the person who can give you some tips and teachings but is more likely the person who will encourage you to stay focused and motivated to move forward.  This is most helpful when you are stuck or discouraged.  Frustration can cause you to stagnate or feel like quitting.  Your coach is there to find out what it is that is stopping or stifling you, and find ways or words to get you back on your feet and moving forward again. 

A Mentor on the other hand is a teacher, an educator in the field or process in which you are pursuing.  Someone who is a mentor has done what it is that you want to learn and provides you with the education needed to help you succeed.  This person should also be one who continues to do what they are teaching.   You may need more than one mentor depending on how many strategies you are using to create a successful business.  For instance you may be using teleseminars or articles to promote your business.  There are mentors who have been successful in both but not in other areas you choose to utilize. 

You may find it necessary to have a coach and a mentor to help you stay on track.  One to encourage your growth and one to teach you what you need to know.  One of my mentors is Connie Regan Green.  She has also been an encourager but is now mentoring a multitude of people on building an online businesses.  Her course in Online Technology  helped me to achieve online success and continues to guide me as I grow more successful.  In her post  Laying The Foundation For Your Online Business , she gives you several things you can do to build an online business.  When choosing a person to mentor you, make sure this person is successful at what they are doing and and teach you the next steps to get you where you want to go.
