Through a local networking group, he meets a successful small business owner. Although their two companies initially seem unrelated, Robert quickly learns that they have quite a bit in common. His mentor listens to Robert’s business concerns and recommends an excellent, yet affordable accountant and a tax attorney. Through these professionals, Robert is able to secure two small business loans and even a grant. Both will help him expand his business.
A few weeks later, Robert needs a printer for a direct response flyer he is producing. He picks up the phone and calls his mentor for a suggestion. Sure enough, he gets the names of three different printing companies to call for bids. And, his mentor even had some excellent suggestions for the flyer.
Is Success Contagious?
The answer is yes, and if you spend enough time with the right mentor, you will find that the success will indeed start to “rub off” on you.
It won’t happen overnight and you must be open to new ideas and concepts that your mentor will teach you. But if you really view your mentor as a blueprint to success, and you use your time together wisely, then you can’t help but start to feel that success creeping into your own business.
