What about all these guys that we're watching on YouTube that are trying to offer us advice? They have no clue about what we do and who we are. You know, I see these guys that drive the Ferraris and they they're trying to give us they're the gurus. They're trying to give us advice. They have no connection with you and I and they don't know the world that we live in. And then that's when inspiration hit me. That's what I want to reach out to you. I want to make sure that when you're looking seeking advice, when you're looking for a mentor, you know somebody that knows where you want to go. Not somebody that is exactly where you're currently at, but it's just a little bit above you. That's a huge thing because that's who you're going to use. You're going to hopscotch mentors. You're going to find those people that are currently where you're at and a little bit of beyond. You're going to take their words of wisdom. You're going to grow and then you're going to need to move on. You need to keep your business moving forward. You need to keep it developing. And you're going to find mentors all sorts of different places. You're going to find you're going to can use me as long as I'm applicable. But there's going to get to a point where you're going to outgrow me. And that's what I want you to do. When you move on to the next mentor, make sure they're connected to where you want to be at. It's like it's like having some rich guy that has all this success in the world and he's way up at the top of a mountain and he's trying to scream directions down to you and you can't really hear what he's saying and he's too far above you to know what you're hearing and you get nowhere. You wonder why these mentors, some of them are so ineffective. It's because they're not connected. Find somebody close to where you want to be at and then take them as a mentor. work with them. That's going to be your best bet. You're going to move forward faster, especially if you have the ability to be one-on-one. Now, if you don't have the ability to be one-on-one with somebody, don't fret it. Don't worry about it. It's not the end of the world because you've got guys like us on YouTube, which we'll gladly share. But you can't just stick with one person. You can't just stick with me. You can't just stick with anyone. You've got to keep searching. You've got to find the components of your business that are lacking and then you need to build those up. So qualify your coaches. That's your lesson today. That's what you're going to take away from this. Going to make sure that you don't just listen to those gurus cuz they're full of I don't care who they are. Even though they made a million dollars, doesn't apply to you and I. Plain and simple. They don't have the connection. and they don't know how to take you there. They even if they do know how to take you there, they don't know what message you're receiving. You know that. I know that. Qualify your coaches. Till next time, have a good one. [Music]
