Mentorship

[Evan Jacobs]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some input from investors new and old (seasoned, I should say). How did everyone acquire mentors or start relationships with them? It has to be more than just touring every REIA in your area and asking every experienced investor for help. I realize this is a pretty broad topic that is widely discussed, but I'm hoping to see some variety in the ways mentors were found. I also want to know how these mentors were helpful to you in the early stages of your investing and what made them want to see you succeed. I hope to not have to wait until I find a true mentor before my investing career begins but I sure wouldn't mind having someone to advise me and teach me their ways. Thanks for your time.

Hi Evan 

I like to use coaches when I am learning about a specific topic, such as real estate coaches, business coach and even life coach to get myself back into balance .   It may cost more, but you are investing in yourself and the instruction you receive is focused on what your needs are.   Most successful people attribute their success to coaching because it allows them to set goals, be held accountable and to focus on what they want, among other things

Hope that helps

Gino
