Mentee
One of the major turning points in my internet business journey was when I hit the proverbial wall that most newbies do in the early going and I had nowhere to turn. I knew at that moment I needed a Mentor Mentee relationship and I needed it fast. Lucky for me I had met a good number of people through my early trials and tribulations and surprisingly had a few acquaintances within my network that I was able to “mentee” under to get past the early roadblocks that otherwise would have thwarted my ultimate success.
Mentor Mentee Relationship & The Empower Network
Had I only had the Empower Network then…I know say that a lot in my blog posts, but I do so because it almost hurts looking back at how much money I spent on coaching programs and systems that did very little to advance me both from a pure nuts & bolts internet business creation perspective but also from a metal perspective. The mentor mentee agreement between the members of Empower Network and Empower Network leadership will easily save you years of time in building your internet business.
From mentorship videos like the one highlighted below to mentor mentee events like the last “Fight The Forces of Evil” event in San Diego last September or the forthcoming “Release Your Inner Badass” event in Austin this month, you have access to cutting edge information and strategies to build your very own internet business.

I’ve outlined my specific mentee goals in this short video.
