Are You Right for “MENTOR for LIFE™”?

Guest post by: C.J Lauria

Article Overview: To begin with, nothing attracts people more than one’s ability to accentuate the positive. I am a firm believer in having the proper attitude before launching a new career. This will stem from a thorough understanding of the industry as well as general principles of business. However, regardless of background, an enrollee must have the ability to consistently see the glass as half full whenever a situation appears incomplete.

Are You Right for “MENTOR for LIFE™”?

What an interesting question! “Of course, I’m right!” Well, are you? Unlike the majority of REI programs for sale, “Mentor for Life”™ really only wants qualified applicants to enter their program. Why? Because, it’s “for life.”

When I founded this company, Invesdoor™, I had already determined to surround myself with like-minded individuals who share my vision of business. Right off the bat this eliminated anyone who was in any way greedy, dishonest, lazy, irresponsible or negative.

Now let’s dwell on the positive aspects of qualification. Shall we? It’s really very simple, actually, if you want a true real estate mentor with successful experience, teaching skills, innovation and integrity you must bring some positive qualities to the table for me to work with.

To begin with, nothing attracts people more than one’s ability to accentuate the positive. I am a firm believer in having the proper attitude before launching a new career. This will stem from a thorough understanding of the industry as well as general principles of business. However, regardless of background, an enrollee must have the ability to consistently see the glass as half full whenever a situation appears incomplete.

Additionally, our approach to every endeavor must be with passion. Passion is not the possession of everyone and if you tend to view things in an anemic manner I suggest you talk it over with one of my staff. Passion is often an inherited quality. However, it can be acquired through proper training & coaching. Making the transition involves a shift in one’s paradigm or viewpoint. This leads to a third attribute that we look for.

The third and last of this discussion is motivation which is evident in one’s willingness to follow direction and apply all that is taught. After all, if we are going to commit to a real estate mentor program of some sort, we will want to be mentally and emotionally prepared to give it our all. Now, doesn’t that make sense? Why embark on a business venture unless we are prepared to take it to completion.

There is no “magic bullet” in real estate investing, even if you secure a costly mentor. Every Mentor will expect this kind of dedication to the common cause. If, however, you come aboard “Mentor for Life™ you will have already been screened and determined to be a good business partner in this exciting business of real estate investment.

Re: Old and Forgotten.... - Sorry for the oversight. HAPPY BIRTHDAY - BARBARA, LONG LIFE AND PROSPERITY!
Re: Is it better to become an entrepreneur at an early age? - I think the best time to become an entrepreneur is not about your age, but your LIFE STAGE. In my opinion, it's ideal to start by your business before you have a spouse/kids/family and mortgage and just after you've worked a few years to save up some capital/work experience (which is easiest to do while still living at home with your parents. No shame in being able to save $1000-2000+ each month).

But I was really just joking - I know no one here could have known my birthdate! ! I was just wondering if an automated "Birthday greeting" sent from the forums would be a good idea...
Re: The secret to happiness - Hey GT You have a great attitude. I was a 4 pack a day smoker and I stopped about 8 years ago. Nobody thought it possible that Barry Sarner could ever stop smoking. It turned out to be the biggest lesson I ever learned in MY LIFE. The lesson: How could you fail at anything if you just refuse to give up? I slipped and slided for 8 months but even when I messed up, and I did alot, I never threw myself under the bus. I just started all over again the next day. I CHOSE to start again the next day . . . I CHOSE You must work on it every day of your life. Just know that you have the choice to start from scratch the next day. . . . . AND THAT IS OK TO DO. NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP
