Ever since I can remember, I've always noticed how people around me interact with others. For example, when I was a young professional in the workplace, I often watched how my co-workers would deal with different situations to reach successful conclusions. I studied their tone of voice, facial expressions, and actions and tried to emulate them when I was faced with a somewhat similar situation.

I also figured out what made them successful in meeting and solving seemingly insurmountable challenges, and then tried to "mirror" their approach. I learned so much ... simply by observing and using other people's experiences to solve a specific problem.

Now, using a very simple concept called mentoring or coaching, you don't have to learn as I did ... over a period of years.  A mentor or coach's experiences, and his or her expertise and ability to successfully teach and solve problems, can shorten your road to success. Much like a master/apprentice or teacher/student relationship, a mentor or coach acts as a guide, teacher, counselor, and confidant to help steer you through a learning process ... a learning process where you actually learn by doing with an experienced mentor or coach by your side.

Successful mentors or coaches will help you define your priorities, identify your goals, and work step by step with you to achieve them. They challenge you to a different way of thinking, and enable you to accomplish more than you ever thought possible. In fact, my friend and colleague Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad^® Poor Dad" and "The Real Book of Real Estate" (which includes my chapter on purchasing properties with little or no down payment) says that mentoring is one of the cornerstones of success.

If your dream is to become a successful real estate investor, I have a team of experienced Coaches ... waiting just for you!  

Have you had a coach or mentor before and, if so, what was your experience like?
