top 5 questions to ask your mentor

Who do YOU turn to when you need help or advice with your
Internet business?

If you're lucky, you've got friends or family you can count on --
people who have successful online businesses of their own, and
can answer your questions *whenever* you face a challenge.

Having someone like this to mentor you gives you a HUGE
advantage.

It helps you skip the steep learning curve and avoid costly
mistakes, so you can fast-track your progress and build your
business bigger -- faster.

You can get expert advice that's specifically tailored to YOUR
business -- not just "cookie cutter" solutions that may not work
with your particular business model. Plus, if you're really
lucky, your mentor will help you set and achieve realistic
milestones, so you can hit your revenue goals sooner.

If you DON'T have an experienced businessperson to advise you,
you should seriously consider HIRING someone. If you get the
right person, the return on your investment will be ENORMOUS.

I know HUNDREDS of successful business owners who owe their
success to having a professional mentor.

Take Mark Bowden, of Spex4Less.com, for example...

When Mark built his first web site in 1998, he didn't know
anything about the Internet, and it showed! It took him months of
work just to make his first few sales.

He knew he needed help, so he joined my "Advanced Mentoring
Program." And in just a few months, the advice he got from his
mentor helped him grow his revenue from $1,000... to $5,000... to
$50,000 per month.

In fact, Mark made over $24,000 in just a few days while on a
cruise in the Caribbean!

Nice, huh? Imagine what YOU could do with that kind of income. By
hiring a professional online business mentor, you'll drastically
increase your chances of making serious money with your business
-- in record time.

One thing, though: if you do decide to hire a mentor, make sure
you check their credentials!

The majority of people selling themselves as "coaches" or
"mentors" are either people who have FAILED at their previous
business ventures (and figure it's easier to teach success than
to achieve it themselves)...

... Or, they're used to working with people who are ALREADY
successful with their businesses -- people who have tens of
thousands of dollars to invest (a luxury that most people NEW to
Internet business can't afford.)

Not only that -- they're usually selling a "one-size-fits-all"
program, where you get the exact same information as hundreds of
other people. They don't tell you how to customize the
information to YOUR business -- they leave that up to you to
figure out.

That's not what you should look for in a business mentor. You
want somebody who is going to give advice that fits YOUR personal
situation.

So before you make the decision to hire any mentor, here are
FIVE questions you need to ask him or her:

1. Do you specialize in working with online businesses?

2. Who taught YOU about making money online? (Note: you
should check up on that person's credentials, too!)

3. Do you know other mentors and experts that you can call on
if you can’t answer my questions? If so, who are they?

4. Do you customize your program to MY business, or do you
use a “cookie cutter?approach where I’ll be expected to
complete a series of pre-determined “lessons?

5. Are you available to talk to me (one on one) by telephone
when I need it -- not just when it’s convenient for you --
and how quickly can you GUARANTEE that you’ll respond to
my emails?

These questions will help you choose a mentor who truly WILL help
you get on the fast-track to success.
