When its come to starting an online business for beginners, at your first steps, you will soon realize that you’ll need some help. And who can’t afford some help when it come to starting an online business? Because, I know that you want to do things the right way, at the beginning. First, you got to start with the right mindset, very important. Every webentrepreneurs that succeeded have this in commons: a successful mindset. Right from the start, webentrepreneurs had a goal. They didn’t know how to get where they wanted to go, which is Success Island, but with a successful mindset their journey was more fun then painful.
But to get help, you’ll need to ask the help of someone who had success at an online business before. You’ll need the help of a mentor.
What’s a mentor?
By definition, a mentor is someone in whom you can put you trust in and learn from is wisdom.
On the online world you will find a lot of so called Gurus, who claimed that they find a loophole or design a program that can make you a success story overnight. My advice to you: RUN AWAY FROM THESE TYPES OF GUYS AS FAST AS YOU CAN! They just want you to buy their products, which in many cases if not all of them, just doesn’t work or underdelivered. For the sake of your online business you need a honest mentor.
Before, I shared with you where I found not one, not two but more than enough mentors to learn from. I’ll tell you what qualities you need to look for in a mentor. Not all mentors are created equally but the ones I found are the best that you can get, when you are a beginner with nothing more than a dream…
Here are the 5 Qualities I believe make a great Mentor
- Self-Observation: A mentor need to look at itself first and foremost. He need to know why he did it. Why is as much important than How. Because the reasons that push him to start a online business will give you the hunger for more of his wisdom. The Why for most of webentrepreneurs is that they wanted to be their own BOSS. They insights on what work and what doesn’t will save you from innumerable pitfalls in your online business progress.
- Diplomacy: This is the art of dealing with webentrepreneurs in an effective way. For a beginner, having a mentor that understand that you don’t know certain things or are clueless about some technical term will help you feel less like a complete newbie. That negative feeling that beginners get when they get stuck often overwhelm them and keep them from pursuing theirs quest.
- Reputability: Before you put your trust, time and energy in a mentor. They most have some kind of rank or credit to their name as a mentor. They most have a resume of helping others archiving theirs goals.
- Knowledge: Here I am talking about wisdom of online business, he has to know how to teach or share his savoir-faire and also the mentor have to keep up with your progress. Answer yours questions with the right information and be up-to-date. Offer feedback and tell you what you doing wrong if that the case.
- Philanthropy Spirit: This is crucial. A great mentor, want you to live yours dreams. A great mentor should not be jealous of your success. He should congratulate you on yours victories and help you recover from defeats. His generosity should have no limit. Sharing with you the best info about tools and tricks that can get you ahead, should be his first intention when communicating with you.
Lets not forget that a mentor must believe in your potential and be supportive when time get rough. Having a mentor is definitely a must in this day and age, having a mentor that have the 5 qualities mentioned above will change your life for the better.
