Working With Mentors

Last week on the show, Allan talked you through how to work with investors. This week he’ll be doing the same but on the topic of mentors. Find out what mentorship really means, how it can look different for different people, and what a mentor can do for you. Allan also shares his personal experience of working with mentors and how well this investment has paid off. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A mentor will help guide you when it comes to doing the right things, working in the right direction, and letting you know what to expect. You need to find someone who has been there and has an understanding of the goals you have and can help you achieve them. 
• When Allan looked for a mentor, he looked for one who had already built a property portfolio bigger than the one he intended to build. The second part of the mentoring that Allan needed was the confidence, self image, and self branding advice. 
• The role of a good mentor isn’t to just hand you answers, but to give you clues and thoughts and work you towards finding the answers out for yourself. 
• Mentors will probably charge a fee for their time, which is fair because they’re offering you a service. Allan has invested £75,000 to £80,000 in mentorship, which he believes is worth every penny making it back tenfold.
• Allan sought out advice from Rob Moore and Mark Homer, the founders of Progressive Property who have a lot of experience in property and their own training schemes. Mark gave Allan access to his extensive and valuable little black book of contacts. Rob helped Allan stop seeking external validation and get out of his own head.
