Difference Between Mentoring and Coaching

Investing in a mentor is a huge decision and not one that should be taken lightly.

A bad mentor can be a costly mistake that leaves you even more frustrated than when you started.

Plus too many internet marketers are calling themselves “coaches” and “mentors” without a qualification in teaching, training, mentoring or coaching.

I do not want to imply that qualifications are everything because of course experience definitely counts.

However being successful does not automatically mean you can teach others how you did it. People are very different and trained mentors (and coaches) will be able to fit into what each individual needs, rather than provide a “one size fits all program”

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MENTORING AND COACHING HANDBOOK

I have had the pleasure of meeting some fantastic mentors in my two years online and make it my business to ensure I am always being either coached or mentored at different points during the year.

I have taken on a mentor for four weeks to learn a particular skill (e.g. Adwords training at a cost of $1,600) and have also invested in longer term mentoring.

Plus I am a trained professional Personal Growth Coach and a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) a skill that helps people model success.

So I am sharing this not only from a position of trained professional (I started as a teacher in adult education, moved into training before training as a life coach) but also from a place of having experienced good and bad mentoring.

My aim is to help entrepreneurs new to internet marketing start and generate profit quickly and the best way to do that is to take on your own mentor. Not having a mentor is a very expensive mistake in terms of time and money!

One of the biggest reasons people don’t take on a mentor to help them is because of the expense that investing in a mentor entails.

This however is an illusion because the real expense comes from going it alone for a few years, spending money on product after product, not knowing where you are going, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, investing hours and still never making more than a few hundred a month (if you manage that).

So I promote and encourage mentoring, coaching and self directed learning (learning that you do at your own pace) because I believe without it I wouldn’t be in the position I am only two years after starting online.

I am still a relative “baby” to the internet marketing industry but my knowledge and ability to make money has meant I have attained my Masters degree while still in kindergarten!

I made the decision to promote mentoring and learning online by starting the Internet Marketing Mentor membership site.

The information contained in the members area will hopefully provide you with an opportunity to select your own mentor from those I recommend.
I selected these mentors because:

• they believe in working directly with people
• they are trained professionals and/or have years of business expertise
• they under promise and over deliver
• they have experienced success online in internet marketing
• they have values that are similar to those of my own – their ultimate aim is to support people in living their dreams using the internet.

What’s important is that I arm you with the tools you need to help you come to an informed decision.
