Good sponsor. Great mentor.

What is the different between a sponsor and a mentor?

Sponsor is someone who give you the opportunity, really cares about you, show you that there is a better lifestyle ahead. Sponsor help you getting started, a shoulder to lead on thru your journey, they lead from the front by example. They always say “ if I can do it, you can do it too”. They cross the bridge together with you from darkness to light, from skeptics to faith, from not believing to belief. They share with you their knowledge, helping you from not knowing to knowing. They are someone you love to hang around with.

Mentor is committed to groom you to be the best that you can be. He will challenge you, not let you off the hook. Mentor “walk the talk, talk the walk” as they process the knowledge, experience because they’ve been there before. They aren’t any extraordinary people, they are just like us who are always on production mode. Because mentor have concentrated their power in working n x 90days plan, they can coach you one or two distinctions that can immediately transform your performance, productivity in a matter of moments. They teach you new information, new skills, new lead generation, and show you how to get measurable results thru the gauge sheet. Sometime mentor doesn’t even teach you something new, but they remind you of what is your dream/goal and they PUSH and STRETCH you to do it until you get it. They are someone you respect and want to be associate with.

In life you need a GOOD sponsor and a STRONG mentor. Good sponsor can show you to “dance in the rain” and be happy when you are feeling down, however a STRONG mentor can push you to “storm out of the rain” to become a man or woman of great impact. In conclusion, sponsor GUIDE you to see a better future, while a mentor LEAD, NAVIGATE you to own a better life.

Ability. Motivation. Attitude

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."

Ability – the knowledge, skill you know about business system flow - Your system level. How well you know the system flow? How well you conduct the scripts call? How tight you execute the progress? And the better you get, the better it will be for you. To the degree that you can perform your actions at higher and higher skill levels, the more and more success in your business.

Motivation – what is your main goals & dream that cause you to act "a reason to act." Your desire, internal drive that drive you to work day in day out. When your why is strong enough, you see yourself will keep going in the thick of the actions. Are you align to the events promotion , qualification , vacation that keep your motivation “lock on”?

Attitude - the mental state that you have to action to the best of your ability. It is how you “choose to” view things, either positively or negatively. Have the character driven to control your emotion, maintain a positive attitude about yourself, others, and the circumstances you find yourself in. Are you more of an optimist or a pessimist? What would happen if you took your attitude to the next level for the next 90 days?

You WILL NOT be successful if you only have one or two. You MUST have all three to be successful. Have a picture of a three legs stool chair.

What if you have high ability about the system, a good motivation but a rotten attitude? People will stay away and hinder your success. You might build this business initially, however retention will be low when people know your character flaw. Rotten attitude also mean becoming “unteachable” , “ big head” , not attending system class.

What if you have a good attitude and motivation but poor skills? People will like you, be around with you, but eventually you are not going to retain the team as people came to this for business, not for social gathering. You can’t get people “plug into the system” if you do not process the skills.

What if you have great skills and attitude but no motivation? Well, you'll be sitting on the couch, remain in your position status, while the go-getters are moving up the marketing level, bypass you to achieve their dreams.

People will judge you on what you accomplish, not what you know or what you talk about.

In fact, if you know a lot or talk a lot but do not accomplish anything, people will wonder what happened. So the question is whether or not you will take the actions necessary to deliver on your potential. To do so, you will need to focus in on the three legs of the stool of success: Your ability, your motivation, and your attitude.
