Paid Mentors? Yay or Nay ???

Chasity Couch

Posted

Hello everyone! My name is Chasity and I am wanting to start working in real estate, doing wholesale mainly until I start building up my company. I am really needing instruction and hoping to speak with people who know more and can assist me. Well I just was in touch with someone who offered to mentor me for $1,000 a month for a year, she walks me through it all (using her tools & office staff) we split 50/50 each deal. I would love to have someone like this, to help with all of my worries... but 1.) I am starting out and that is a lot for me to come up with 2.) Is this a good rate for a mentor? I'm not sure since I've never done this before.... HELP ????

I mentor everyone and anyone that is serious for free. This doesnt mean I think myself to be this good. I however am good at what I am good at and people that approach me all ask me to help them with SEO.

There is nothing wrong with gurus charging to be a mentor as it takes a lot of time and effort. BUT...

You absolutely do not need it. If you need mentorship I seriously believe you do not have what it takes to be make it!

If you don't have that drive and that determination to make it work no matter what.... someone else that does will always surpass you.

Now, mentorship is a great offer in some circumstances. If you have a family, work 3 jobs to feed those little mouths and you just don't have enough hours in a day to do this on your own.. sure.. that is a good reason to get a mentor, HOWEVER if this IS your life, I still doubt you will make it simply because you have other priorities. I strongly believe that you need to give it your all and more to rise above the rest...4

This I strongly believe.

So should you get a mentor?

Woman... for 1000 a month I could get a sweet little DMM campaign going which pretty much will give you much better chance to actually make money!

But..what  am I.. I am just a silly lil ape with an ego from here to yonder :P

pshhht... don't get mentor ship!!
