Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I've got a little bit of an extended episode for you today because I want to talk to you today about the power of mentoring. Now, in full disclosure, I'm in that mindset right now because I'm launching next week a full suite of mentoring products, but it's not the reason I'm doing this episode. I wanted to really talk to you about why I created and why I'm creating it. Why is it important for you to consider a mentor? And what type of mentor? And what should you look for in a mentor? So I really want to talk about that because I believe in the power of mentoring quite a bit. Now, let me give you kind of the background. I've had the privilege of spending, man, the last 25 years working closely with some of the biggest thought leaders, celebrities, experts, authors, business experts all over the world. People like Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, T. Harv Ecker, Les Brown, and dozens of others. And my companies have developed programs and marketed events all over the world. And we've spoken to hundreds of thousands of people just like you that are listening to this podcast. People who wanted to create more health, wealth, and prosperity in their lives. And people who were tired of results they were getting. They were high achievers and successful entrepreneurs, but they wanted more. And I'm super grateful for the experience that I had because it gave me a rare opportunity to be mentored by leaders who have a proven track record in all areas of life, business, personal, and wealth. But more importantly, it gave me the opportunity to study and analyze what really helps people create success and what seems to keep holding them back. And you know what I found? I discovered that success requires more than just goal setting and hard work. It requires a combination of a strong mindset, proven strategies, and actual proven tactics if you really want to create significant and more importantly lasting results in business and in life. And ultimately, if you really want to make major improvements in your life, you've got to have a mentor or a coach. It's just an absolute must. Books, audio programs, video programs, seminars, they all have their place in your personal development quest. But coaching stands apart as the single greatest potential contributor to helping you create an extraordinary life. One of the greatest business and personal mentors I've had in my life was Robert Stuburg. You may not know Robert by name, but Robert was a legend in personal development and business. He's the guy the gurus went to for mentoring. He marketed their ideas for decades while he was running Nightingale Conant, helped them develop their programs, and basically do amazing things. He's also the one who created success.com and several other successful businesses and best-selling programs. But he taught me some of the insider secrets. And he really was my personal and business mentor for about 20 years. He helped me to scale my company from $20 million a year to over $200 million a year. And I've personally applied strategies and principles in my life that he's taught me and have helped me as a direct result of having a mentor. I've been able to start, manage, and scale several companies with hundreds of millions in sales over the last 25 years. And recently, Robert passed away, and it's given me an unbelievable desire and passion to continue his work and share his knowledge and my knowledge and resources and strategies with other people around the world That why I passionate about helping entrepreneurs and small business owners and professionals just like you I want to help you get more results and take your game to the next level. I've already trained, mentored, and supported thousands of people throughout the world and I'm passionate about helping you take your business to the next level which is why I created the Daily Mastermind podcast. And if you're like most people and you've been struggling to get more results in your life, your career, your business over the past couple of years, or maybe you just want to get more direction, purpose, and passion, then mentoring is really exactly what you need. So instead of letting your future just happen to you, instead of letting someone or yourself be controlled by random events, getting a mentor is going to help put you in the driver's seat of your life. If you do that, you're going to make major changes. So here are some additional thoughts and ideas and information that I put together and wrote down to help you determine if a mentor is right for you and how to approach it. The first thing you got to understand is that mentoring is really the best kept secret of the rich. The richest people in the world use the power of the mastermind and mentoring and it's no accident. What all high achievers know is that they need someone who can guide them with an objective and experienced view on results that they're trying to create in their life. And a mentor not only holds you accountable for results that you desire, But a mentor can provide you with insights and strategies that you can use to shorten the learning curve and help you through those troubling times. But here's the thing. I want to be really clear here. What it takes for mentoring to work is work. And it's no joke. Mentoring is most effective when there's two things present. When you're willing to grow and there's a gap between where you are now and where you want to be. That's really all that's necessary for a mentor to help you solve problems or turn your business around or design and implement a new plan of action, but ultimately create a new life. So you've got to ask yourself a pretty powerful question. Are you where you want to be in life right now? Are you where you want to be in life right now? And if not, why? Why are you not there? So why would I recommend a mentor or things like the program, the CEO mentoring programs that we're coming out with? Two things are absolutely critical when you consider a personal mentor. First, you've got to find a program that's geared to your specific needs. And second, you've got to find a mentor that has the knowledge and expertise to help you with your specific situation. There are so many life coaches and experts out there right now. It just drives me crazy. And I simply can't stand by any longer and watch people waste good money on these mediocre resources. people that are life coaches that don't have any life experience, or people that are business coaches that their business is literally selling mentoring. One of the reasons I created these upcoming Mastermind Mentoring programs is because it combines proven course curriculum with unmatched experience and results. The programs that I'm going to be putting out there, and there are some out there, they're developed from proven results over 50 years combined experience of the partners. Decades of research have gone into the development of each and every strategy that we offer. You can't find a better personal business and financial program out there than the ones that the evolution groups can offer, but there are quality programs out there if you look for experience and you look for specifics with what you're looking for. So what is a mentor or what is mentoring Mentoring is a highly focused process that unlocks potential and maximizes your particular performance It should be a formal process and it should produce positive lasting change not short results And when it's conducted in a collaborative, confidential environment, mentoring gives you the opportunity to gain clarity, remove your self-imposed limitations, and become more self-reliant so that you can fully tap into your strengths. And so a mentor, look, there's a lot of differences between coaches and advisors and experts and mentors and all these different things that are out there. But ultimately, a mentor is just someone who can help you ignite and unleash your potential, period. That's it. A mentor is going to facilitate critical new insights, enable you to set target goals and take deliberate action. and mentoring assists you in seeing where you are and where you need to go and how to get there. It challenges you to accomplish more and to contribute more. And mentor someone who, just for example, is going to help you break through your limiting fears, encourage you to pursue your dreams, help you achieve and solve problems, keep you focused, right? My mentor helped me keep me focused and it supports you in pretty much every area by giving you insights. But a mentor is professionally trained to help a high achiever figure out what they want out of life and how to get it. They've got experience with helping you to dig deep. So think of it as hiring your own personal life and business consultant. Most of us already have ideas on what areas of our life we want to change or improve, whether it's your business, your career, relationships, health, fitness, all of these things maybe you want to change. But rather than put generic advice or online generic advice, a mentor is going to listen to your individual needs. and work with you in a development of a plan to attack it. And as a result, you're going to set and achieve bigger and better goals and having a mentor is going to challenge you to be able to push yourself out of your comfort zone each and every day. So who is it, if you're listening to this, you might be thinking, do I need a mentor? Who should really consider a mentor? People hire a mentor because they want to make their life easier. They want to increase their income. They want to change or grow or even just get better lifestyle and freedom. Maybe you're doing really well, but you have no freedom. Those are all reasons. If any of those are things that you're looking for, that's why you need a mentor. Mentors can help you get all of those things. And they can help you get them quicker with more strategies that are proven. It's that simple. So mentors are really ultimately just going to help you live an extraordinary life. You're going to learn to design and live the life of your dreams because you will set goals that you actually really want. Not goals that other people are trying to get you to do. Other challenges and programs. But ones that you need to do for your life. Mentoring is going to help you distinguish between what you could, should, ought to, have to, or want to do. And it's going to help you find what deep down in your own heart and soul you really want. Because once you create your ideal goals, you're going to be more naturally and consistently taking action towards those goals. That's the key here. Plus, when you progress more rapidly, and you will progress more rapidly, mainly because you'll continually evaluate where you are and where you're going, when you progress more rapidly, you're more motivated and inspired. The mentor relationship gives you that objective partner, that person that you can talk with and get consistent feedback loop because I believe you know most of what you need to do Maybe not strategies but deep down you have what you need but it helps to have someone that you can talk to So you reach for more than you ever thought were possible when you have a mentor because your partner is there to support you But whenever anyone has a partner that they trust, think about it. They'll always reach for more because they can afford to do it. They have the support to do it. That's what mentoring is all about. And just a big bonus you're going to have is that you're going to make better decisions for yourself because you're more clear and focused. So there's a lot of value in sharing your ideas and stuff with someone that is a mentor and just discussing your options with someone who can listen and really truly listen with a filter of what they know you really want, not what they're trying to make you feel. That's key. Clarity is a primary driver of peace of mind and the productivity and results that you're going to get. So look, having a mentor is going to do a ton of things, help you make more money, get more wealth, grow your business, solve problems, set and achieve goals, push through your limiting fears, reduce your stress. Just reducing stress for me was huge in having a business mentor. But it'll also help you gain confidence in that belief transference and designing your life and taking action and dreaming bigger than you would normally dream on your own. Those are just some of the benefits and advantages of having a mentor. But keep in mind that we experience life with emotions and mentors are going to help you feel encouraged and inspired and motivated and understood and confident and those feelings and emotions are going to drive your actions and that's so important but ultimately I can't recommend enough that you consider getting a mentor yeah I'm saying a formal mentor relationship not just people that you learn from online because I believe a couple of things and I want you to really I want to end the episode with this number one I believe you have greatness inside of you and you have everything you need to truly achieve the life you were meant to live. But I also, number two, believe that a mentor will help you make it happen faster. And without one, you're going to stumble and fall, but you'll probably get there. But some of you will never realize your true potential because you just can't get over those limiting beliefs and you can't see yourself objectively. So it's so important. I can't recommend enough that you search around, ask around, consider getting a good mentor. Now, if you want to check out some of the evolution group mentoring programs, we're going to have several. We'll have a group academy mastermind every Thursday, 6 p.m. We've got CEO mentoring that's very exclusive and limited because I can't personally mentor that many people. But we also have live events. We've got the three-day summits a couple times before the end of the year. We've got the live academy lives three times once a month for the next three months. And we have all kinds of webinars and training. So I'll put some links in the show notes. But ultimately, I want to hear about your success, your struggles, your challenges. So DM me, look me up on the Daily Mastermind on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, send me a message. Let me know how I can help. And please do me a favor and share this episode. It would mean a lot to me. And ultimately it could make a big difference for somebody that's looking for more clarity in their life. So that's my message for today. I don't talk in detail like that about mentoring often, but I felt it was important today. And so I hope you'll have an amazing day, but I also hope you will put some serious effort into finding yourself a mentor and taking your life to the next level. Once again, my name is George Wright III. This has been The Daily Mastermind. Have an amazing day. I'll talk with you tomorrow.
