 Here you go Chris. Here's your check. All right So how do you get a mentor as in Chris has been mentored by me and get paid for it like I just paid him Just got a check. Well done Chris. So people are always asking me. How do you get a mentor? Like how do you convince someone to? Coach you and to mentor you when they're super super busy and then eventually How do you get them to actually pay you to get mentored Chris? Is that effectively what's happened to you? Yeah, definitely. All right, so Chris here. How old are you Chris? I'm 18. 18 years old. He lives in Los Angeles and Chris Will you explain the story about how you ended up being mentored by me and then eventually getting paid to do things for me? So basically what happened was I followed James and I followed James's Snapchat I went to a business seminar met James followed the snapchat and the snapchat He said if you're looking to be interned if you want to work as an intern for me Just give me a snap and that's literally all I did. I asked him. Hey, can I work for you? I'm willing to work for free. I just want to learn from you and he gave me a snap back Did an interview he would I worked in for a month and then I Think he felt like I did some quality work and then he offered me to pay like no He offered me to get paid So which was like a bonus clay never even came here to get paid in the first place But it's like hey Chris unless I'm gonna start paying you from now on. Oh, all right, cool Okay, great. So what do you think it was and I'm gonna tell you the viewer what Chris did right But what do you think you did right to even get my attention in the first place? First I knew your stuff like I knew your swannis your products. I knew of your YouTube channel I knew I had some information about you before I even approached you and I offered you what I can help you with So like I said I can help you with your YouTube channel and from there That's like free Like help for you, right? Mm-hmm. So then once I gave you that you're okay I know I can use that and then I get and then you give me the offer. Yeah, so there you go So the bottom line is is that Chris came offering something. He didn't come asking for something I mean you can't a minute ago You kind of you kind of portrayed it as if you were asking for something Which is you wanted my help and being coached But but what he actually did just to clarify is that he came to me and said He demonstrated basically that he knew who I was he knew what I did too many people come to me They don't even know what the hell I do They'd have a basic level of what I do and not an in-depth knowledge and they say please help me Please help me. I'm not gonna help you like I'm not gonna mentor you You don't even know what I do but Chris came and he demonstrated that he knew my business He was aware of my glass my swanis blurb looking glasses He said he watched my YouTube channel and he came offering something offering value So he didn't come trying to take value He came offering value which in this example was I can help you with your YouTube channel and offering to work Work for free, right? Yeah. Okay, so The way to do this to get a mentor is you you reach out to someone and you you reach out to them offering value This three of my staff who worked for me around the world they They all came to me offering value and offering to work for free and initially it was One of the guys all he did was send me an article about the Denver Broncos And I love the Denver Broncos they're my favorite team and he knew that because he listened to my podcast the James Swannick show And he sent me an email about Peyton Manning and his neck injury and he said oh James listen to your show It's great. Here's an article about Peyton Manning because I know you love the Denver Broncos No need to reply and I was like cool. I read it and I went oh, that's awesome And I didn't reply two weeks later. He sends me another email saying hey I was looking at your website and I think you can actually increase your conversions and get more people to sign up if you just Changed the wording here and there. I kind of know a bit of stuff about this Just thought I'd help you out. No need to reply and I was like all right. That's kind of cool And he's helping me right. He's not asking for anything. He's giving value and then he did it a third one a third thing we reached out to me and pointed something else out on my website that I could fix and Finally, I just sent him a message and said here book schedule the time and we'll get on a Skype call And we'll have a chat because he'd already given me value and not asked for anything and then on that call I ended up hiring him to a retainer and he ended up I think it was I think he ended up doing like 1500 or $2,000 a month retainer with me for like seven or eight months when he did some email marketing and things and things like that for me and then I my other staff Other members the same thing reach out to me demonstrated that they knew that about my Swansea's blow-up glasses I listened to the podcast They came pointing out something that maybe I could do better They really understood what a pain point of mine was and they offered to help me for free And then I took their help for free and then finally I ended up offering the money and started paying them Pretty effective way to do it. Don't you think Chris? Definitely. Yeah, okay, and now you what are you doing with the check? You just were screwing it up. Sorry doing take care of it. I just paid you. God damn it My bad.
