Step three in the SOS system is
to find a mentor. More importantly know that there is a difference
between a mentor and an advisor. You will have many different
advisors, for example your accountant, your tax attorney, your
computer technician . . . but you will probably have one 'Mentor'
(with a capital M) at a time. Choose your Mentor carefully. You will
have several over the course of your lifetime, but the one that
comes at the right place and the right time will seem to be 'YOUR
GURU'. You will make bucket loads of money all of the sudden. This
is because YOU were finally ready, for whatever reason, to hear what
other mentors have been trying to tell you all along. Sometimes a
very 'pure' or 'selfless' mentor will slow down enough to explain
something to you. He does it at a speed that is slow enough for you
to grasp. He is often losing money when he does this. Robert
Kiyosaki was like that for me. Also, Matt Gagnon was the first
marketing mentor that explained something to me in a way I could
understand it. When you have a teacher that implants a 'symbol' or
'system' into your mind that encompasses and dissolves all of your
question and confusions, you will suddenly have the courage to take
action. "When the student is ready the teacher appears'. It may seem
like this type of 'GURU' is a better mentor. Usually you are simply
ripe for the teaching. The purpose of this website is to help you
CHOOSE a mentor who is at your speed and who is focusing on your
primary interests. It is also designed to honestly determine your
current speed. The key concept is 'current speed'.
I have an extremely wealthy
mentor named Tony Seruga. I was involved in a mentoring system with
him called XXX or XXXX group. This was a life changing
event that changed my 'mind' and my thought patterns. For several
months I was saturated with the most powerful and overwhelming
business and marketing information on the planet. Unfortunately, I
was still in kindergarten, and Tony was living at light speed. He
was teaching to the small business owner, and I was still an
employee or self employed. I was simply unable to grasp his
teaching in order to take real practical action! One of the most
powerful things I learned in my early days with Tony Seruga is that
almost everybody tries to blame their mentor or guru for not 'making
them rich'. This is the wrong attitude. Just because you are not
ready for an advanced guru does not mean 2 years later something he
said will not make you big bucks. In fact it has happened to me.
Tony is probably the busiest man on the planet. I got a call on the
telephone today from a telemarketer who works for 'PMG marketing
group'. They operate the sales team for Mr. Jay Abraham, one of my
marketing and sales mentors. This friendly fellow said he knew Tony
Seruga. When I asked him in three words or less to describe Tony, he
said . . . "Busy"!
I had another powerful GURU named
Jirka Rysavy. Jirka was an Olympic gold medalist hurdler and CEO of
the fortune 500 company 'Corporate Express'. A truly amazing guy. He
sent me to marketing and television editing college in 1998. I was
too young to realize what he had done for me at the time. During
this period I had an amazing opportunity to observe him create a
startup company called 'Transecon' which has now become Gaiam, Inc.
He said something to me one day which I will never forget. One day I
was trying to do 'everything at once'. Busy, busy, busy. (This is a
terrible habit of mine and a habit that burdens many creative
people). He poked his head inside my office and said "If you focus
on EVERYTHING you get nothing done!" I instantly fell into a deep
meditation. This is true! You see there is a difference between the
'busy busy busy' habits of Tony Seruga, Jay Abraham, and Jirka
Rysavy and the busy habits of unsuccessful and non-productive
people who complain about money! Even if this sounds like hype it
is ABSOLUTELY TRUE: If you discover what that difference is, you
will be wealthy- even beyond wealthy . . . because the technology
these people apply is not really about money.
I am going to tell you what the
difference is. For free.
They systematize everything in a
non-linear way.
That is your next step.
