Entrepreneurship: What are the issues/challenges that come up in one on one mentoring process, issues which can be rectified for a smooth process?
Colin McGuire - I Operate a Portfolio of 16 eCommerce Brands, Clarity's Top Customer Acquisition Expert answered:

I used to run a team of 35+ individual branch managers that ran their own branch of the company. I did all of the 1on1 mentoring to coach them through the process. I would get a ton of pushback because they would go months without making any money and working about 65 hour weeks. It was my 1on1 mentoring with them (over the phone) that got them to push through to the end. That year we did about $2 million in sales from $0 the previous year.

Instead of focusing on the business gobbldygook, I would focus on helping them break through the mental barriers of their problems. I did this by getting them to show themselves that their problems were only really problems because they hadn't solved them yet.

I got tremendous pushback from 35 over worked and under paid business owners that eventually make a ton of money once they reached the end.

Schedule a call with me and I will give you actionable phrases and strategies that will help your mentees break through the mental barriers that are holding them back and give you the best strategy to answering their lash backs when they give you resistance.

If you don't think the call is worth it, I'll refund your money. No questions asked at all. I'll also give you free email support so you can reach out to me and ask questions as you have them. I'll be sure you have an actionable plan. Look at my reviews.

Shoot me a message.
