True Meaning Behind Mentor

By: John Di Lemme

Over the past five years, I've often spoken about the power of words and that the words that you speak predict your future. You are exactly where you are in life today based on what you have spoken into existence. One word that has been a very powerful part of my individual (personal) life is *MENTOR*

I want to break down the true meaning behind the word 'Mentor' for you.

Mentor broken down basically means -- *Tour Guide* - -

When you go on a vacation you often say,'I don't want to waste my time, I don't want to get lost, I don't want to get stuck out in nowhere land, so I am going to hire a tour guide - some one that has been there over and over and over and over in life...

They can guide me through the mountains, they can guide me through the canyons, they can guide me through the Everglades in Florida, because they are professional Tour Guide." (A Tour Mentor)

You pay them to tour you through where you want to go and take advantage of the beautiful scenery and the beautiful environment.

For Example - Let's say you wish to take a tour of the North Carolina Mountains

Your ears would perk up when you hear this...'I am expert in the mountains of North Carolina.'

That means they can charge you a fee to guide you through the mountains. That is what a Mentor is all about. Who is guiding you through an area you have never been to before?

It's the exact same with the Land of Success (aka Promised Land), you must be guided by someone that has been through the exact thing you are going through on your journey.

Not similar to or took a course on or read a book about, but someone who has been through where you are right now.

That is why I am considered one of the top strategic business coaches in the world because of the adversity I have been through. I can take people by the hand and guide them through the process so they don't lose their mind or get stuck in a rut in life.

That is why you need a guide...You have to have a MENTOR!I am going to ask you again...Who is your mentor? Just close your eyes and imagine that you are skiing in Colorado and don't want to get lost or risk your life.What do you do? You hire a tour guide.

Stop risking your success Today! Stop risking the fulfillment of your dream! Stop rolling the dice or taking a chance on the achievement of your goal. Decide today to have a Mentor.

Make sure you have someone you are accountable to. Make sure you have a Tour Guide on your journey to success.

I highly suggest you read this over and over again. I suggest you print this out because this is life changing.

Staying Sane During the Holidays By: Catherine Auman MFT - The thing that makes the holidays the most difficult is the widespread idea that they shouldn't be. We've been seduced for years by pictures of smiling families passing the turkey and opening their flawlessly wrapped presents. Everyone is easy to get along with and everyone is perfectly happy. Nothing could be further from the truth for most people. We are far more complicated creatures than that. All families have their areas of dysfunction which are less likely to politely stay out of sight when everybody is together in the same room.

Stress Management - 3 Steps to Eliminate Holiday Stress By: Linda Hampton - Much of our holiday stress is self induced.

Living with Counterintuitive Theories and Ideas By: Dave Smart - "I believe the earth is flat. Sure looks flat to me." Indeed it does. What leads us to reject that notion as soon as we hear it, and believe that the earth is round? Other than that it was taught in school, and still is; all that we do and say to nearly everyone else in the world is based on their belief of it. That the earth is round, a sphere, and goes around the sun, explains many things.

Online Etiquette Tips for Job Seekers By: Camilla Patten - Etiquette is considered 'good breeding' that communicates politeness, respect and refinement. While this may sound particularly snooty, in fact this merely displays an employee's ability to conduct themselves in a sophisticated and presentable manner in the workplace. Etiquette, in plain and simple English means good manners. While we could get technical and investigate the way this term has been described in the Oxford Dictionary, for the purpose of applying good manners when looking for a job online, it's best to keep things simple and user-friendly as such.

Keep 'Em Guessing and Reinvent Yourself 3-4 Times By: David Brooke - I once heard of a couple of lady entrepreneurs who went into business 'reinventing' their clients. After a short interview, they'd produce two words describing what they thought the client should become: a "bookish cowboy," a "sexy recluse," etc. I thought this was great, and set about finding my own two-word identity. For now I'm a "rock 'n' roll nerd," but I won't always be. I think I'm looking at "kick-boxer kitten" or "gypsy intellectual" somewhere down the line. There's nothing dishonest about it.

Rest - the Right Way! By: Mark Arens - We've all experienced sleep deprivation. Whether it's because of stress, worry, insomnia, a sleep disorder, sickness or simply a busy schedule, deprivation can wreak havoc on our lives. Parents especially can place so much importance on their child's bedtime ritual and quality of sleep that they neglect to take care of their own sleep needs. Sleep disorders manifest themselves in a number of ways. Our minds and thoughts can get out of control and keep us awake or there may be something going on with our internal system that needs medical attention.
