When you set a goal to make an extra $10,000, or to release 15 pounds of fat from your body, or find the love of your life, or to create the freedom to spend more quality time with your family, wouldn’t you want to arrive at that goal as fast as you possibly can? Of course you would!

Mentors have the knowledge, experience, and motivation to help you arrive at your destination much faster and safer as you can avoid many of the obstacles and mistakes that they experienced. Listen to Change Series Expert Donna Fox as she shares one of the most powerful lines that I have heard in regards to mentoring…

Role Models and Mentors

What Donna said that really resonated with me was “There’s an easier way through that mine field… I know how… here’s the map.” That is a perfect way to describe the true power of mentoring.

Donna has been one of my mentors for the past 3 years. She has a gift of asking me great open ended questions and allowing me the time to think and respond. Not only has she provided me with a map for success, but she has also made the journey outrageously fun for me.

When I set my sites on some pretty big ambitious business goals just over 3 years ago I couldn’t afford wasting any time in achieving those goals. In the literal sense I couldn’t afford anything. At the time of setting those goals I had recently closed down my health club and claimed bankruptcy. I was flat broke and overcoming a bout of depression.

When I was presented with the opportunity to be mentored by Donna and fellow Change Series Experts Mike Filsaime and Tom Beal, along with Paulie Sabol who made up the i5Gold mentoring program, I knew that I had to do whatever it took to be a part of it.

I took on extra personal training clients and worked my butt off in order to invest in their mentoring program. I knew that hard work and action was going to produce great results.

If it wasn’t for Donna, Mike, Tom, and Paulie, The Change Series would not have been possible. It was because of them that I was in the right place at the right time to be surrounded with all The Change Series Experts.

I’m not even sure if they realize that without they’re influence non of this would have been possible. The impact that they have had on me will in turn impact a great number of people around the world.

That’s the beauty of mentoring. Mentors have an understanding that teaching just one student can have a dramatic impact on the rest of the world. Mentoring is a great way to create a legacy for yourself.

We’re all mentors in one way or another. When you share your life experiences with someone and encourage them to live up to their potential and explore the gifts that they have been given, you are in fact mentoring them.

Share your gifts. Mentor someone who you would like to see fulfill their dreams and find yourself some mentors in various areas of your life to help you reach your full potential. I don’t know of a greater way to make the world better place.

Embrace Change… Your dream life awaits you,

Scott Tousignant
