Welcome to the MWF Motivation Podcast, one of the top rated motivational podcasts in the world.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I come out with a short to the point no BS podcast designed to transform you from who you are today and to who you want to be.

There's no fluffier, just life-changing content.

My name is Rob Dyle, and the podcast starts now.

Welcome to today's episode. Today we're going to be talking about mentors. What is a mentor? Why you want to find a mentor and also if you should pay for a mentor and really what a mentor is and what it'll do for you.

What is a mentor? First off, it's somebody who's either further along in life than you or they could also be someone who's younger than you but they have a specific skill set or something that they're further along in a business that you want to get good at.

A mentor is someone who is just further along than you are.

There's somebody who will shorten your learning curve and make it easier for you to be successful at whatever it is.

For instance, I've had mentors for years. My very first mentor when I was 19 years old, I paid $500 a month to have a mentor that taught me how to get good at becoming number one, treating myself like I was running a business and got me better at my business and took me for making $17,000 a year to within a year and a half of coaching with him to making $177,000 per year.

That person has not only made me money in that aspect but they've made me money millions of dollars over the past 10 years, 11 years, 12 years since I originally started coaching with him.

Mentors are extremely, extremely beneficial. They don't have to be just for business. They don't have to be just for money.

It could be that you could find someone who has a really good relationship or really good marriage and you and your wife or you and your husband start hanging out with them more.

They could be mentors as far as the relationship goes. Mentors can be for everything. I have mentors that teach me guitar. I have mentors that teach me vocal lessons for singing. I have mentors that teach me a recording program that's on my computer.

I have mentors, I have a mentor for physical, for working out, for dieting, for all of those things. Then I have mentors that are further along than me in business.

I have mentors that are further along than me in just psychology and they just keep me, you know, they're happier, they're healthier, they're more on point than I am and I want to be around those people.

Mentor is just somebody who is further along than you are. Now, why would you want to have a mentor? There's a ton of different reasons.

Number one, these people are going to be in your top five. There's someone that you might not hang out with as much but you know the five people that you hang out with the most is going to be, if you hang out with five alcoholics, you're probably going to be the sixth.

If you hang out with five millionaires, you're probably going to be the sixth as well. So it's extremely important to think of the people that you hang out with the most.

So the first thing that mentors will do is they will make you up your game. When you hang out with somebody who is, I have a couple people that I don't spend a ton of time with but a few times a year that are worth over a billion dollars.

When you hang out with somebody who is in that realm of just mental capacity and business capacity, it makes you up your game.

It makes you become better whenever you're around those people. When you see the stuff they do or the stuff they have, it also makes you go, man, maybe I'm dreaming a little bit smaller.

If this shows you human potential and so it completely makes you up your game by having them. So like I said, up in your game is one of them.
