The benefits of mentorship and coaching
I
am amazed how many newbie investors think that success is achieved in a heartbeat . This is not the case , it takes hard work , dedication and a commitment to see the plan through .
One of the biggest breakthroughs I made in my investment career in real estate was the fact that I recruited a mentor to help guide me to take my investment strategy to the next level . We are not taught on to how to handle our personal finances and more importantly how to invest in real estate in our schools or university system . The property expertise tends to be the domain of estate agents , real estate brokers and financial planners who benefit from selling you their stock of properties , products and services . The focus also tends to be more on the products , and little on the how , process , strategy and psychology behind investing , which accounts for more than 80 % of your success .
Property investment is available for everybody yet most people think it is an exclusive , inaccessible possibility for the average South African and is considered a mystery and impossible to make a return . There are thousands of books , seminars and online courses that all profess that real estate investment will make you very wealthy but relying on this alone without proper guidance can be disastrous . Generally there is a self-interest in the person giving you the information and very little time is spent on your personal strategy . Very few give you the proper guidance and roadmap to able to take the right action going forward for your particular situation . Everybody is different and while everybody has an aspiration to invest they also need unique guidance that should truly protect and empower the investor extending beyond your basic insight and education .
Real estate mentorship and coaching ensures coaches work full-time to be experts in their field . Mentorship and coaching is like having a personal trainer or coach that helps to keep the investor on track and establish a strong mindset around wealth , money and discipline . Mentorship and coaching should always be independent which means that there is no incentive to push the student towards any particular investment strategy or sale of a property or service .

I often get the question from people as to what the difference is between mentorship and coaching . Mentorship is a personal one-on-one developmental relationship process in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person . One of the things that have enabled successful people to create their ideal life and financial independence is access to and the implementation of the right information .
Our mentorship programme allows you to discover and implement change into your strategy using the same tools , techniques and methodologies that have enabled high-level businessman , investors , entrepreneurs and leaders to radically transform their businesses and their lives . Knowledge is converted into vision to action to results .
Key distinctions between mentoring and coaching is that mentoring is more relationship orientated , tends to be longer term than coaching , is more personal development driven , has an in-depth strategic design phase and has more one-to-one-interactions with the mentee to make a personal impact and encourage change .
Mentorship and Coaching benefits include :
- Reducing your risk of investing and avoiding stupid mistakes most investors make - Overcome your fears of investing and getting over obstacles - Use several different strategies to achieve positive cash-flow from day one - Find great property deals in any market and the ability to keep investing on an on-going basis - Access to top property professionals who can work for you - The ability to know how to build your investment team - The ability to get bond finance which others cannot - Access to the best of breed on-going live , online , individual and group training - Networking with powerful investor groups and networks
