Charting the Course: The Dynamics Between Mentoring and the Influence of Our Surroundings

I’ve come across the idea that our thoughts and actions are shaped by the information we absorb from our surroundings—what we hear, see, and read.

I understand that it is important to maintain one’s focus, and I would like to stress the significance of doing so..

I decided to embark on an Internet business venture. I’ve taken steps to ensure its success by hiring a mentor and acquiring the necessary tools. Now, the challenge is to bring the business to life.

My mentor advised me to meticulously document my learning journey, both successes and failures. Furthermore, they encouraged me to share the ups and downs on my blog regularly.

Although I’ve been consistent in posting intriguing content related to my business on the internet each week, I haven’t followed my mentor’s advice to document my experiences. Recognizing the value of this guidance, I am determined to align my efforts with my mentor’s suggestions moving forward.

I’ve come to realize that this phase of the business isn’t solely about showcasing my knowledge in affiliate marketing, but rather, it’s about meticulously documenting and sharing my entrepreneurial journey.

At times, we inadvertently allow external influences to lead us astray, fostering a sense of competition to produce compelling content for our blogs—content that may not necessarily align with what our readers truly need during this crucial stage of our business.

In my earlier posts, I touched upon.

1. Embarking on a Journey of Growth and Achievement.
2. Updates on my Journey, talking about what I am planning to share.
3. Navigating Decades from Multilevel to Affiliate Marketing.
4. Overcoming barriers to Online Business.

I’ve come to realize that my recent posts have primarily delved into the reasons behind my venture into affiliate marketing, with the intention of resonating with those who share similar aspects of my journey. However, this deviates from the guidance provided by my mentor.

Recognizing my novice status and the uncertainty in expressing myself, I’ve acknowledged that external influences have veered me away from the fundamental principles. Henceforth, I’m committed to adhering to my mentor’s advice, focusing solely on documenting my progress, lessons learned, triumphs, and failures throughout the business-building process.

While I find myself overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge accumulated in the past three months, I’m fortunate that the mentoring program includes access to instructional videos covering every aspect of our learning journey.

I’ve decided to leverage these videos to recapitulate my journey, highlighting what I’ve implemented, what has proven successful, and the challenges encountered – including moments like this, where following my mentor’s guidance seems amusingly challenging (do what your mentor says to do, LOL).

Embracing the wisdom shared by my mentor, Dean Holland, that I’m merely one step ahead of those yet to embark on this journey, I’ve distilled my focus on what truly matters. This is the essence of what I’ve learned.

Introduction to the Affiliate System:

Embarking on a transformative 12-month, 3-Phase Plan, my mentoring journey unfolds through engaging class sessions every Friday from 10 to 11:30. Participants have the flexibility to attend live or access the recording, promptly published on the platform the following day. These sessions delve into the ‘what,’ ‘why,’ and ‘how,’ culminating in hands-on tutorials that guide us through the practical implementation of newfound knowledge in constructing our business structures.

These tutorials not only elucidate the functionality of our actions but also empower us to revisit and reinforce our learning at our own pace. An essential aspect to note is that the System’s efficacy hinges on unwavering commitment. Weekly tasks form a crucial part of this commitment, with each task building sequentially on the previous, collectively laying the foundation of our business.

Lesson Learned:

Building Unbreakable Confidence: In business, confidence is a prerequisite for positive results. However, achieving confidence can be challenging without tangible results. The key lies in consistent follow-through on our commitments. By doing what we say we will do over an extended period, we create a profound sense of confidence within ourselves.

Discipline: Commencing with small tasks is pivotal, as the accumulation of little victories builds momentum towards larger goals. It is a deliberate, systematic process – a journey that unfolds through our determined actions over time.

The Turning Point: Success in business is not a wishful outcome; it is a deliberate creation. Mastery in business is achieved through learning, practicing, and honing the art of success over the long term. The focus should be on the process, as my mentor rightly advises, “focus on the process, and the money will follow.”

The mistake to avoid: Comparing ourselves to others is counterproductive. By looking at those ahead of us, we may feel inferior, failing to recognize the countless individuals behind us. Instead, we should consider those who lack what we possess and find fulfillment in helping others progress. We are all beginners to some and experts to many.

Obsessing on what we don’t yet know: Dwelling on gaps in our knowledge impedes progress. Instead, we should embrace the journey of continuous learning, acknowledging that mastery takes time. Concentrating on a well-defined plan and becoming the best version of ourselves will attract success organically.

Instead of focusing on what we don’t know yet we better focused on:

The new concepts that we have learned: Such as affiliate marketing, affiliate links, commission structures, digital products, email lists, opt-in pages, upsells, recurring income, high-ticket items, and various aspects of traffic generation, including free and paid strategies.

Experiences (Good and Bad): Experiences that we have had (good and bad), what we have learned from those experiences, the mistakes that we have made, and the results that we have gotten, not only money but people who have visited our site or blog, the new leads, etc.

Value for Others: Experience whether positive or challenging, holds value for those who have yet to tread a similar path. Our collective wisdom, regardless of outcomes, serves as a resource for individuals unfamiliar with the nuances of our journey.

Acknowledging Progress: Taking a moment to appreciate the distance covered so far is crucial. This involves recognizing how our knowledge has expanded, the skills acquired, and the growth achieved in our online presence.

 Reluctant Reporter and Unknown Advocate:

• The Reluctant Reporter: Often, we see ourselves as mere conveyors of experiences, reluctant to seek attention or accolades. Our focus is on authenticity and honesty, rather than pursuing glory.
• The Unknown Advocate: For those compelled to maintain anonymity while seeking online success, the Unknown Advocate approach may be employed. This should be a last resort, accompanied by an honest statement explaining the necessity for using an alternate identity.

Steps to build my Oun Asset:

• I have purchased my new domain name https://ewellsmarketing.com
• I have set up my domain name on Cloudflare.
• I have deployed my Owned Asset.
• I have connected my domain name to my Owned Asset.
• I have Sep up my WordPress Site (AKA Owned Asset).
• I have Customized my Owned Asset.

I believe I’ve comprehensively addressed the most crucial aspects of the first week of training in the Affiliate System in this post. While the setup of my Own Asset involves a more intricate and time-consuming process that demands technical skills, the Affiliate System, coupled with video training, remarkably streamlined the experience. Sincerely, it took me no more than three hours to build and connect all the technical aspects of the steps I’ve outlined.

As I conclude for now, I extend my best wishes to you. Until we meet again, take care and all the best!
