COOKING AND BUSINESS SUCCESS. HOW TO FIND A MENTOR THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS OR LIFE NEEDS
Here is how to find a mentor…Never ask a stranger! Okay that’s it we are done here! 
I remember when we first started we had this huge dream, at the time it never crossed our minds nor did we know how to find a Mentor. Our dream was to own a multi-million-dollar business that touches thousands of lives worldwide, while still allowing us to work at home and spend lots of quality time with our lovely children.
Well after a couple of months this dream seemed totally out of reach…Can you relate?
So how did we turn this thing round, AND what the heck has cooking got to do with how to find a mentor?
Its time for some tough love!
If you too have a dream that right this moment seems out of reach, we’d like to as you a question. Have you ever considered taking training from someone? If you did, do you have a blueprint for your specific needs?
Recently Julie was interviewed by an Internet Rockstar and Multiple 6-figure earner Marquel Russell. One of the points that stood out was the need to and how to find a mentor! You can Listen to said Interview here! Be sure to grab your pen & paper. Its packed with value!
Today we invite you to take a closer look at whether you are in it for the long haul and profit. In which case You Do need a Mentor or mentors. We are going to give you a detailed overview of how to find a mentor or, that mentor you need to catapult your business and life to the next level.
This knowledge is part experience and part of what we also learnt and reinforced over the weekend we had in Florence Italy! You can learn more about how you too can Experience Florence here! We also are putting together a webinar for your pleasure to share some nuggets for our team so if that is you…You are in for a treat! If not and you have been considering the option, then you might like to check out the different ways you could work with us!
Building your dreams and going after your goals can be downright confusing sometimes…esp. after a couple of months of dedicated work and no results…Is this you our friend? There is hope for you yet!
Maybe you wonder if you’re really headed in the right direction…And if you are, WHY you haven’t gotten “there” yet?
You may feel altogether stuck, or worse yet, like you are slowly moving forward with the “hand brake” on and no idea how to release the brake and so you can move forward and create results more easily.
Perhaps you’ve endured failure in some areas of your life, but enjoyed success in others…And you wonder HOW to create success in ALL areas that matter to you. Keeping all these in mind…
Who do you wish to learn cooking from, a Michelin star chef or your auntie May who granted thinks she does a mean pie….Humph you hated them pies! 
Here is the thing most start up entrepreneurs do wrong, we did too! We chose to learn enterprise from amateurs who had no clue what they were doing…! And when things go wrong, many either quit, play the blame game or…Yay seek and check out some free training online! Till we learn its only a band aid! And if we are truly committed we think about hiring a mentor. If the latter is you today we will give you a Blueprint on how to find a mentor!
If you want to become an expert at cooking, you want to either learn from the expert or follow a great cook book written by an expert chef who is successful at what he/she does. So why then do you seek business advice from your auntie May when you invest in your future? Then you proceed to mess up your chance to change not just your life but lots of others too! Its time for that change to happen…
IF YOU BUY the cookbook of your choice, wouldn’t you wanna follow it to the letter in creating those awesome culinary delights? So it follows that in business you will want to not only find someone to learn from, you will want to follow every instruction as they give it. You will NEED to implement and achieve the results you desire…or do you? If you ask someone for help to earn 10k per month and then only do some of the actions they tell you to do…or do them only once, or not at all, you expect results? If you actually pay this person to mentor you….you joking me…why? After all you actually aren’t following their advice….So let’s talk about how to find a mentor …before we do that, lets look at another scenario!
If your child came to you and decided they want to become a chef…you would find the resources you need including mentors to guide her on her journey to becoming a star chef right? You would do some research and you would have criteria on how to find a mentor…did we hear a resounding Yes?
Okay then share your criteria below ….obviously we are done here, NO? Then let’s talk about how to find your mentor…

If you watched the Video above you know what To LOOK For in a good mentor. But below is What to avoid in anyone you wish to mentor you!
- If they bully or guilt trip you into taking certain actions. That clearly only benefit them! Could be an egomaniac – who think they know it all, NO ONE IS PERFECT! They make you feel like its heaven honour to be part of their private mastermind!
- Chauvinistic – They don’t tolerate any kind of question or query of their expertise and demand blind agreement with whatever they say or tell you to do!
- Incompetent – If they clearly have no clue what they are doing, give you very detrimental tips or downright lead you into acts bordering on criminal. yes they exist. But they bluff their way…Sadly many just don’t recognise this. Why, coz they present themselves as very sociable, connected and knowledgeable. The worst kind!
- Manipulative – Many are happy to mislead and use you for their sole profit. You are a dollar sign to these.

Mentors are so important! I have been fortunate, both in my blogging and in my “real” career, fitness, to find great mentors that really want to help me succeed. Thanks for sharing!
I would probably look for a mentor from among people I knew or do what I do now when I have the time and that is to learn from those who share videos on youtube. I like to listen to them while I’m working or just online at times. There are some very successful bloggers out there sharing their tips.
You are so very right Tracy. We can learn from so many awesome people freely sharing their knowledge experience and lessons
online.

A wonderful post and video Julie. It can be a wonderful experience when you find just the right mentor. I also liked that you also added what to avoid in a mentor. Sometimes we need to be reminded of what to let go.
Glad you found value Suzanne and thanks for taking the time 🙂

I find them naturally amongst my peer group. It’s great to have a mentor you can trust.
Its great to find mentors amongst your peers. Word of mouth, recommendations
nothing beats that! Thanks Liz 🙂
BUT sometimes you have to look beyond your peers for professional help, unless of course your peers are all super
connected and networked…in which case you are truly blessed.
J&PK~
Thank you for sharing what to look for in a mentor. In the blogging world, I have discovered that in order to advance to where I hope to be in another year, that I need a mentor to help point me in the right direction. I am writing down your list and will be on the search for a mentor for the new year.
Glad we have been of some help in your journey Michelle.
Feel free to ask if you need any help as we do know some super amazing bloggers 🙂

In the blogging world i have had some great mentors who have taught me valuable lessons. I am still learning though.
We are always learning too Rebecca,
The day we stop learning and dreaming, is the day we start dying!

Great post, Jules! Working with a mentor is so vitally important to ANYTHING one does. It’s learning from those who have gone before, fallen in the holes, and climbed back out. No need to do all that yourself if you can learn from one who already has.
Just loved this!
Thank you Susan for your contribution too.
Love the analog of falling in the hole and climbed out. 🙂

Great post Julie, I call David Wood and Robert Kiyosaki a mentor because I learn from them. But I actually always wondered how to get a mentor who will work with me.
Hey Xarah,
you now have the basic blueprint to start looking for that wonderful person,
Keeping your personal and business needs in mind!
We wish you every success in doing so!

I smiled as I read this having been in the position in the past of having so-called mentors who were basically manipulators as you described. Since that time and having leaned my lesson, when it comes to business, I do my own homework, make my own mistakes and avoid the get rich quick schemes. Thank you for affirming what Life has taught me the hard way. Namaste
Aww Claudette,
we have all had that sauce served to us, not the cool type I am sure.But once bitten twice shy.
That said there are amazing mentors on this planet and people are indeed breaking throught with their mentoring.
Lots of people pay a fortune to them for mentoring the proceed to ignore the lesson taught or implement for results.
Glad you are in a better place!
This is a powerful post Julie. So many people call themselves coaches and mentors.
This is going to help a lot of people 🙂
Thank you Steve, coming from you,
thats an awesome! We really do receive lots of emails from people offering to catapult our biz to the next level…
We truly appreciate you too!
This is news to me,
It is great advice, I’m so glad that there are people who care to guide us in how to find a mentor.
Hi Nicole,
We are quite happy to help and glad you found value in our post on how to find a mentor!

Wow! This post is spot on on what to avoid when seeking out a mentor as well as what to look for. You guys are just great Julie and Paul! Anyone would be blessed to have you as mentors. We also believe in invisible council as Napoleon Hill spoke about in his famous book, “Think and Grow Rich.” There are so many outstanding mentors both living and deceased that we can learn important life lessons and timeless success principles from. Blessed to know the best! Thank you for leading the way for others and being such servant leaders in our profession. Appreciate you! 🙂
Awww Flea & B,
what a nice thing to say, and thanks for your contribution too on how to find a mentor. We totally agree about the Invisible council.
We love Napoleon Hill’s counsel and Recently Dr Dyer! We appreciate Your Leadership too.
We would be most humbled if you allow us to use it as a testimonial too.
Jules & pauli!
Nice one Julie, I think it;s just as important or even more important to know what to avoid in a mentor. If they have all the right qualities as well as all of the bad ones then they are still a bad fit.
Thanks for sharing, Cheers.
For sure Daniel,
If they have all the bad qualities then it may be a good idea to look further.
One man’s meat may be another pne’s poison.
Thanks for your comment.

Great post and video on how to find a mentor Julie! A mentor is definitely someone who is already where you wanna be and he will guide you and show you a way how to do the same! Thanks for sharing it!
Exactly Jelena and We & You are blessed to have awesome mentors who guide us to greater heights.
Thanks for taking the time! 🙂
Very true, Julie. A mentor is a very good thing to have in an online business, he/she can keep our focus sharpened and be a motivator when times get tough!
Hi Lorraine,
Thanks for your contribution, we appreciate you!
Pauli
Hey Julie what an awesome video and post, everyone needs a mentor, the right mentor. Someone who has the results and someone who is really there to coach with open heart and sometimes tough love too. You have great mentors Julie and great advice on how to avoid bad ones!
