“It’s important to have someone in your life who can take you to a place in yourself that you can’t go by yourself.” – Les Brown
True words…
It’s relevant on many levels…
But I want to discuss it on an entrepreneurial level…
We all have an idea of where we want to be in the future. What goals we want to achieve. What lifestyle we want to live.
But having the ideas isn’t enough.
Depending on how BIG your goals are, and they should be scary BIG.
It will take sacrifice and will make you feel uncomfortable.
But there’s a way to “fast-track” your way to your goals.
And that brings me back to the quote…
You need to surround yourself with people that can take you to that place.
This can mean dropping any “dead-weight”… but it can also mean getting a mentor.
That’s what I did.
3 months ago I decided to join Lukas Resheske mentorship program.
He was doing what I wanted to be doing… Writing high-converting copy.
He’s done over $110 million in sales. And is one hell of a teacher.
It’s hands down the best investment I’ve made.
Not only am I now writing copy for clients… I’m actually getting my clients’ results!
Here’s what one of my first clients had to say;
“We hired Ian for an emailing campaign which we needed to use on an exhausted emailing list. He is professional, communicates great and is able to deliver high-quality work…. give him a correct brief and he will bring on the results. For us, he created a very dynamic and motivating email campaign, which led to high open rates, high conversions, and a very lucrative result. Thanks to him we got 2 months worth of budget and now we can continue to expand! We will definitely work with him again and I recommend him to anyone looking for a professional copywriter!” – Dan-Ion (Tradunity)
If you’re working towards a goal then surround yourself with people who have already attained it. You don’t necessarily need to invest, but it definitely makes the whole process easier.
Then it’s just a case of putting the work in.
