As we all gear up for a new year full of new possibilities and opportunities I wanted to express the importance of having a GREAT mentor moving into the new year and what that means.
As you watch this video of people inspiring millions of others from their actions achieving great things, winning by inches, setting new world records, and redefining what’s possible from something that, before they did it, was deemed impossible, take note of the things you DON’T See…
It’s an all to often overlooked secret to success.
No person who achieves great things does it alone. People who push through their own self imposed limitations always have a GREAT mentor helping them.
Having a great mentor in your life is essential to achieving a high level of success and I believe it’s important to have that in place at every stage of your journey.
So what makes a great mentor?
A great mentor sees potential in you that you do not…
A great mentor is not interested in making your life easier, they are interested in making you stronger…
A great mentor wants you to surpass their ability…
A great mentor is someone you hate and love at the same time. You hate them because they NEVER let up on you, they kick your ass and don’t allow the weaker side of you that is scared and wants’ to quit to give up! And love them for the very same reasons…
A great mentor believes you can be the greatest and the best, even when you don’t…
A great mentor invests as much of themselves into your development as you do you…
And the time comes when you 100% believe that you cannot give anymore, that you’ve absolutely reached the pinnacle of your ability, a great mentor can see that you DO have more. More strength, more resolve, more power, and more ability and they ADD “weight to the bar” so to speak, they don’t take it off.
Those are just some of the things that make a great mentor and the fact is, every person who achieves great success has one or more great mentors in their life that DO NOT let up on them. They find a way to get them to dig in to the deepest depths of their heart and soul to pull out more power and ability they didn’t even they you had.
A great mentor forges strength in your mind, body, and soul and help you re-shape and re-create yourself into a pillar of strength, confidence, and achievement through YOUR dedication, effort, work, and commitment.
Throughout history the world has seen great men and women rise from seemingly nowhere and behind each of those people is a great mentor, friend, and champion of that person.
As you get ready to enter a new year with new goals, new desires, new objectives, or even goals, objectives, and desires you have yet to achieve, seek out a great mentor that has achieved the results you desire and that you trust fully.
Make a commitment to yourself to find or reconnect with a great mentor as you prepare to set off on achieving your new goals and objectives for 2013!
I promise it will be one of the most rewarding things you’ve ever done!
And one last thing… I LOVE the lyrics to this song and I believe it represents the perspective and attitude a great mentor would have of you so I’m including the lyrics to the song titled “Hall of Fame” by The Script…
Hall Of Fame:
Yeah, You could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the king kong banging on your chest
You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door
You can throw your hands up
You can be the clock
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks
You can be a master
Don’t wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself
Standing in the hall of fame
And the world’s gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world’s gonna know your name
And you’ll be on the walls of the hall of fame

You could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile
