My Challenge -Day 20

• Network Marketing Secrets
• The Real Cost Of Coaching And Mentorship

2

• Today what I want to talk about is related to
  coaching and mentorship.
• Over the past weekend I had a chance to sit down
  with one of my personal mentors, Jerry Chen. We
  had a chance to talk and really just mastermind.
• We discussed some of the challenges and
  opportunities that were going to have in the
  coming weeks and months. It really got me
  thinking about how much I value coaching and
  mentorships.

3

• For the past couple of years that Ive been
  doing network marketing, Ive spent quite a bit
  of my time just trying to understand how to do
  things. I had to overcome that learning curve and
  develop myself.
• Sometimes you just need something-some
  information that maybe you havent quite
  comprehended yet or heard in an exact way. Youre
  looking for something to make it easier for you
  to understand or come to a conclusion that will
  produce a breakthrough.

4

• One of the first types of coaching mentorship I
  had was when I was in college. I was 20 years old
  and was getting involved in network marketing. I
  didnt have any idea of what business meant or
  personal branding.
• One of the first was with a gentleman who wasnt
  actually the best coach, but ultimately gave me
  some good fundamentals. He taught me about
  communicating with people, how to invite people
  and ultimately how to enroll them in business.

5

• I learned some great things that brought me to
  understand that if you dont have a well-mixed
  understanding of both online and offline
  marketing, youre not really going to be able to
  understand or appreciate everything that you have
  in the 21st century.
• I had a chance to work with one particular coach
  who I spent well over 10,000 to work with. I
  thought I was going to be working with this
  person, but what happened was he had about 5-10
  coaches that he would assign to people who would
  basically do coaching for him. So it wasnt
  exactly what I wanted, but in essence I paid
  10,000 for that course and still really learnt
  from it.

6

• While that coaching was great, it didnt really
  give me the breakthrough that I needed to take my
  business to the next level. I reached out to
  other coaches. Every time that I went from coach
  to coach, I always grew and evolved. Thats
  ultimately why I wanted to get coaching from
  people who had the goods, experience, and
  knowledge.

7

• This brought me to a course that was well over
  20,000. In this case he knew social media
  marketing and I saw it as a great platform and
  resource. A lot of companies were looking at this
  trend a new kind of territory. It was a new
  frontier to tap into an audience.
• I was debating on whether or not I should take
  this course. I had to look at the fact that it
  was really expensive. Can I really afford this?
  Do I have the money to pay for it?

8

• With network marketing, typically the investment
  is usually a couple of hundreds of dollars,
  perhaps a thousand or so. So we tend not to take
  it as serious as we should because the barrier of
  entry is so low. We really dont care if we waste
  500. How many times have you wasted 500 on a
  computer, TV, sporting event or vacation that
  didnt really mean anything to you?

9

• I was put in a situation when I had a decision
  to make. 20 000 was a lot of money for me at
  that time. It took me 9-10 months to pay it off.
  But the thing is, when youre at that point, you
  need to figure out if its something you want to
  do. Is it something that will help you develop?
  Will it make you a person that can be more
  influential?

10

• I said to myself, Kevin, whatever it takes, you
  need to find a solution. Im going to be able to
  pay this off and learn, develop and grow myself
  so that I can get these skills and knowledge.
  Ill keep myself accountable.
• Thats one of the things about these coaching
  courses. Every time you spend money you cant
  just take the information and leave it there. The
  cost keeps me motivated. If I invested that much
  money, I expect to get a return of investment
  through the information I get.

11

• Within 6 months great things started to happen.
  I started to get more leads and business. I had
  more consulting offers and things just started to
  explode in my business.
• If it wasnt for that coaching, none of this
  would have happened. Hopefully the information I
  shared with you today has been valuable. When you
  start to think about training courses, you want
  to think about how its going to impact your
  life. Is it going to help you grow? Is this the
  person you want to work with?

12

• Today I have a challenge for you. Im looking to
  work with 5-10 people in the next 30 days. Id
  like to ensure you have a shorter learning curve
  so that you have more results.
• If youre interested, make sure you click on
  that link and enter your information. Ill get
  the notification that youre interested. Send me
  an e-mail and well connect. If its a good fit,
  well work together and see how we can put
  together a game plan to help you ultimately get
  more business. Youll find out what it is you
  want to accomplish long term and be able to live
  the life that you want.

• Ill see you again tomorrow, on day 21.
