The Power of Mentorship
Are you struggling with something right now?
And yet, you feel like you can’t share it with anyone.
You tell yourself “I shouldn’t talk about my problems…"
"My feelings…"
"My insecurities…"
"My struggles…"
“I don’t want to bother people with my problems about my relationship…"
"My business…"
"My Life…"
"Myself…"
“I don’t want people to think less of me…”
“I’m fine…”
“I’ll figure it out myself”
I get it, I used to be there.
But you don’t have to handle all of your inner demons by yourself.
Most of us feel that once we grow up, once we are off on our own...
We need to be able to handle EVERYTHING that goes on in our lives.
We’re told to take care of our health...
Our finances...
Our career/business..
Our relationships…
But.. what about our mindset?
What about our mental health?
What about our own Self-Image?
No one ever talks about these kinds of things.
And no one EVER talks about the importance of asking for help.
You see…
One of the best things we can do for ourselves and our mental well-being is to be able to ask for help.
Whether it's taking it out with a friend.
Talking to a stranger.
Or talking to a professional...
You don’t have to go about this alone.
You don’t have to feel the need to “Hold it in” because you’re a guy...
Or because you don’t want to bother others or be a burden.
Because the more you hold it in,
The worst you will feel about yourself... which will only cause you to beat yourself up even more.
You are not going to solve your own personal issues by talking in circles with yourself.
You need an outlet.
A resource.
A different perspective helps you look at your situation and problem.
Because once you get out of your head.
And into a space of “I'm human, and it is okay to ask for help”
You allow your unconscious brain to help you find the answers you are looking for.
I had a client who had a lot of personal issues he was dealing with:
- The stress and anxiety of starting a new business (all while still being in dental school)
- The confusion and frustration of figuring out how to get clients (he was a brand new coach)
- The overwhelming feeling of handling with his negative self-talk, self-doubt, and self-belief (He was constantly comparing himself to other coaches like him and thought he wasn't good enough to charge what he wanted because he lacked testimonials or case studies. )
But after a few weeks of working together.
And me being able to hold a safe space for him to share and be vulnerable...
- He was able to land his first client at $3,000
- He was able to figure out his own voice online and create content in a way that attracted his ideal client to him
- He was able to stop comparing himself to his competition and started running his own race - measuring his success only to his past self (huge game-changer)
And all of this happened not because we did anything special or extraordinary.
But we just gave him the space and support he needed to figure out a gameplan for what works best for him and created an action plan to help him do it consistently
So if you’re struggling with something right now...
Maybe it's getting clarity on your offer, getting clients to your business, or scaling your service business to the next level with content.
And you feel like it is hard, difficult, or that you are not good enough.
Just know that you don't have to go about this alone.
Seek out wisdom from those ahead of you.
And allow them to guide you in creating what they already have.
