No matter what business or career you pursue, you can always benefit from the assistance of a mentor or teacher. In all of our professions, we learn the skills of our trade either through our own personal experiences or by being mentored by others. Online business is no different in this respect. In fact, it may be even more necessary in the online world than it is in the offline world, to pair yourself with a leader. This is because many of the skills essential to an internet marketer are not necessarily inherent (i.e., we need someone to teach us). People who have not ventured into internet entrepreneurship probably have never learned about search-engine optimization, attraction-based marketing or pay-per-click advertising. Thus, having a mentor in the online arena greatly increases our chances of success by introducing us to the concepts and strategies we may not have knew existed.
Nowadays, there are so many different ways we can use automation and leverage to our advantage. If we don't have a teacher or a mastermind group, we risk the chance of losing ground to our competition in this respect. A mentor will show us how to employ maximum amounts of automation and leverage in our business, and in turn make us more efficient. There are still great fortunes to be made online, but there is also great competition, so we need every advantage we can afford. Having someone to guide us is one advantage that we should not go without. A simple analogy would be like driving from Maine to California without a map - most likely you would get there eventually, but why would you want to try? As internet marketers and online business owners, we need someone who can show us a roadmap.
Obviously, you want to choose a mentor who shares your own personal philosophy, and who has already made it through the learning curve that you will undoubtedly go through. So, the process of pairing yourself with a teacher and leader might take time, but it will be well worth the effort.
