Hello, friends! Welcome to the show
"Path to a Billion." Today we have an unusual topic—we’re diving into who
a coach and a mentor are. And no, they are not contestants in a new business
reality show! They are two experts who can guide you on your path to success, but they do
it in completely different ways. Ready? Let’s go! What Is a Coach? A coach is like a personal trainer for your
life or career.
Instead of telling you how to do squats, they ask questions to help you find the
answers yourself. The main tool a coach uses is questions. They help you unlock your potential and
discover solutions that are already within you. Imagine you’re struggling to choose
between two job offers. A coach won’t say, "Go for the one that pays more!" Instead,
they’ll ask, "What’s more important to you: money or growth? Where do you
see yourself in five years?" And suddenly, you realize that it’s not
just about the money—values matter too. What Is a Mentor? A mentor is more than just a trainer; they’re
a guide with experience! This is someone who shares their knowledge and gives advice.
They understand your professional world because they’ve been through it themselves.
A mentor is like an older sibling in the business world who helps you avoid mistakes
and shows you how to reach your goals.
Let’s say you’re a new entrepreneur struggling
to find your first clients. A mentor will share their experience, tell you how they
found clients, what mistakes they made, and what strategies worked best. They’re
giving you their life hacks and wisdom. Key Differences: Coach:
– Works through questions. – Helps unlock potential.
– Doesn’t give direct advice. Mentor:
– Gives advice based on personal experience. – Shares knowledge and recommendations.
– Helps avoid mistakes they’ve made.
Example from real life: Imagine this: You’re a beginner investor. A coach will ask,
"What’s your investment strategy? What level of risk is acceptable to you?" But a mentor will
say, "Don’t put all your money into one startup! I did that in 2005 and lost everything."
See, two completely different approaches. Choose what you need at this
stage, and keep moving forward! Now, let’s meet some famous names from
the world of coaching and mentoring: Tony Robbins — A coach and motivational speaker.
– Author of bestsellers like *Awaken the Giant Within* and *Money: Master the Game*.
– Over 50 million people worldwide have attended his events. His clients include Bill Clinton and Serena Williams. This guy
knows how to inspire on a high level! Marie Forleo — A business and personal development coach, author, and entrepreneur.
– Creator of the "B-School" program, which teaches the basics of online business and marketing.
She was named one of the most influential entrepreneurs by *Oprah Magazine*. I think many
people would love to get a consultation with her! Simon Sinek — A mentor, bestselling
author, and motivational speaker. – His concept of "Start With Why" is known
globally and used in corporate training.
His TED Talk has become one of the most viewed, with
over 60 million views. He’s got a lot to share! Thank you for watching our show till the end! Now, check out the link in the description
