The Prodigal Son (Is this the Same Story ?)
Life has it's ups and downs,
sometimes it's seem as if it has more downs then up's ,
but that's just a trick of the hand .
(Luke 15:11-32) Dark on one side,
light on the other.
In this Story of the Prodigal Son,
the Son was asked to leave !
(Please don't get hung up on the word
son here (Mentor /Student will do .)
I am back for round two , looking for the rewards ,
hopes, and promises of the first go around !
It's on your mind now , the big question ,
who failed the student or the mentor ? Keep reading ,
I promise I will get to that in a minute.
This year I will not answer any of your questions ,
I will not give you a catchy word to enchant your
mind with a beat and phase , to catch your mind and emotions.
(Is that what he did last year ? " The champ is here")
Think how powerful the word is , if you seen me on the
streets the first word that would pop into you head would be
"Oh , look the Champ is here."
lol - This is for Danny just in case you want to hear it again :
I am not going to say hey pick me , pick me ;
you know me , you have worked with me ,
you know how dedicated I can be.
This year it's not about getting into the challenge ,
it's about the networking ,
and being apart of a strong
group that has directions and connections.
( Rick will atest to the fact that even
when I was out of the challenge
, I still called him when I had a lead
with a banker who was looking to buy up some property .)
( With me it's blood in blood out ! lol)
I think we all want something out of life ,
some want to get rich , some want more time with family
and friends , some want a better postion in life ,
no matter what the want is ,
it's just a search for happiness and fulfilment in life.
Funny thing is, all the above does not matter ,
because 98% that do get what they want,
still will not be happy. Happy today ,
and chasing another happiness tomorrow.
Over the pass year I have been learning
contentment , and waiting.
It might sound like strange skills to learn in business,
but talk to the mob boss of His Real Estate Network ,
sorry I meant Board of Advisors.
( Men who have been in this business for a long time )
No disrepect , but in age is wisdom.
I want to be around people that help me to grow ,
and makes me to dig deep down inside and pull out the best.
Here is where I answer
the big question , who failed,
the student or the mentor ?
Again , it's a trick of the hand !
Be very careful when you only have one side to a story .
You might just loss your equilibrium
trying to draw a conclusion to a point
that has no conclusion to draw. lol -
Up-down , black-white , Cold-Hot, lets do the smart thing ,
and stay in the middle.
If you think I am talking to you , I am ! (lol) :-)
The truth is a real mentor will not let a student fail ,
and a real student only has one goal ,
to learn from the mentor to better
both his life and the mentor's life .
Final conclusion , I would love to be apart
of His Network group , but not as a student ,
I feel I have proven myself last year ,
I did not leave , I was asked to leave .
Signed the Prodigal Son .
Who said in truth is love?
I don't know but it rings truth to me !

I agree ! Moreover ; not all mentors are created equal , some mentors only have their interest in mind, in the post I was speaking more so on a relationship aspect of a mentorship.
Money or time is traded for a mentorship program , which I see nothing wrong with that , but when you have a one sided program where only the mentor benefits, and the student that has been working for 3 -4 months or that went through the program , and sees no benefits being produced for him/herself , the only one benefiting is the mentor by all the free work that is being produced by the student.
The mentor then can make the claim that that the student did not stick to it , and did not get the results . If the student is not producing the same amount of work the student is asked to leave. Most of the claims (promises ) is only a way to keep the students working for free in benefit of the mentor. Most of these promises are not fulfilled in anyway .
Where I am from they call it "pimping." Keep feeding the girl(student ) promises that will not be given , or give very small things to keep the girl hooked. (Pimping ain't easy , but somebody has to do it! )
( In no way am I refer to anyone in general , I am just saying things that I have seen. )
In conclusion, I agree , but lets have a mutual understanding of what a real mentor is .
Anthony- I hope you remember that Danny or I did not kick you out, your team and peers felt you did not add enough value to the team. You understood the terms since you also voted others out before you for that same reason.
In a mentorship relationship, the mentor is responsible for creating a learning environment and pouring the knowledge while challenging and encouraging the student to apply it. The students responsibility is to take that information and bring it to life. That's with any arrangement of time or money.
From our very first call I told you that I saw HUGE Potential in you and I am still convinced that I am right. That's why I spend extra time calling you while you were still in the team encouraging you and giving you quick strategies to get results. It is what it is.
In this world, there is a massive difference between "Potential" and "Manifestation" of that potential. As a mentor, I want to challenge you this year to take all of your potential and create a real manifestation of success. You will do that as you take what you've learned and put it to work daily. Don't think about it, just start moving forward. You are worth it and your family deserves it.
By the way, Sam is doing just that and he already owns a killer deal in California and has several investors in the pipeline to do more. If he can do it, you can too.

No correction is needed on your part about the story above ( Is this the same story ?)
It was not meant to mimic the bible story ;that was the reason for the question.
I called no one any names , I was speaking in general . Things that I have experienced from working with different people. I should have used a quote that would have been better ..lol -Just kidding !
Jim, you had many good points ,but some you were way off . To think that I hold anger against two people that I respect in this business is just wrong !
Thanks for the encouragement .. All the best !
