Objectives - The WHY
Most people who decide to grow personally find their first mentors in the pages of books. It is important to know when to transition to real life mentors at some point. In today’s episode we will explore how to identify a good mentor when you see one. 

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. It’s hard to improve when you have no one but yourself to follow
   
2. Knowing the difference between coaching and mentoring
   

What You Need to Know - The WHAT

1. A good mentor is a worthy example
   
2. A good mentor is available
   
3. A good mentor has proven experience
   
4. A good mentor possesses wisdom
   
5. A good mentor provides friendship and support
   
6. A good mentor is a coach who makes a difference in people’s lives
   

Good Coaches share five common characteristics. 

They…

• Care for the people they coach
  
• Observe their Attitudes, Behavior and Performance
  
• Align them with their struggles for Peak Performance
  
• Communicate and give feedback about their Performance
  
• Help them to improve their Lives and Performance
  

What You Need to Do​​ - The HOW

1. Find a next-step mentor beyond book mentors
   
2. Make two lists. 
   
   1. One with the specific skills or strengths you want to improve to reach your potential. 
      
   2. On the second list put the specific problem areas where you feel the need for ongoing guidance.
      
3. If you are just starting, look for worthy models to follow by reading about them in books.
   
4. Then look for people who will give you access to their lives
   
5. A word of caution...sometimes people look good from far away but when you get to know them you discover qualities you don’t admire. If that happens, don’t get discouraged. There are plenty of respected mentors to follow.
   
6. ​Listen to the Building Success Habits Series
   
7. Download the IBGR Business Growth App
   
8. Challenge beliefs that no longer serve you. Quote: Eric Hoffer - “No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need other people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps a book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need other people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are.”
