Mentors should play a strong role in your progression towards your goals. Every successful person I’ve met, interviewed or read about at one point had someone who was smarter, more experienced and wealthier than they are, regardless of how successful they are.

But guess what? Even mentors get blocks! That’s right. They’re human. They get held back by their own ‘stuff’. So, don’t be too hard on yourself if you know if you’ve been holding yourself back. The first step, is to identify that is even the case!

What I have for you in today’s post are the lessons I learned from a private coaching call I had with a mentor of mine (who wishes to remain anonymous). He shared freely and unreservedly about his own journey and growth through his projects.

The motivational material out there is many and varied. You’ll find thousands of books and programs on the topics and seminar speakers everywhere talking about it.

But motivation implies that it’s a temporary emotional state. That’s why you feel energised after reading a book or attending an event, but the next day it wears off and you’re back to where you started.

Why is that?

I believe it comes to finding your deeper core motivations, ones that aren’t affected by day to day activity.

Jim Rohn once said ‘If you find the why, the how becomes easy’. And that’s exactly what I’m referring to.
