The problem of this approach to finding a mentor is that you're doing nothing out of the ordinary. This is exactly the approach that most of the people in your niche will adopt when they try to find someone to mentor them, and therefore,the chances are that the expert in question gets dozens of such requests a week.

The chances of him (or her) agreeing are accordingly very slim.

A far better approach is to become a free-member of the forum sites
highlighted in the next section of this report, and use those forums to get involved with other online marketers.

As long as you make an active and useful contribution to the forums in question, over time, other members will become aware of you. In fact, you may even be able to befriend other more advanced marketers in your market sector or niche through these forum sites.

Because of this burgeoning personal relationship, it will be considerably easier to approach them with a request for mentoring a little further down the line.

At least create a daily 'mini-plan'

Before you close down your computer at the end of every working day, write down a list of everything that needs to be done the next day.

Then, put those tasks into the order in which you're going to do them and make certain that you list either the most difficult or least pleasant job first, or simply the one that is the most important.

From there, prioritize everything else that needs to be done the next day, and make certain that everything that is of importance is featured early or high on that list. In that way, if you have been over-optimistic about what you can achieve in the day, the tasks that will remain undone at days end will be the relatively unimportant ones.

Keep every one of the daily plans that you create for a period of a week or two. After that time has elapsed, you should be to able to see some kind of pattern emerging of what you're doing every day, and, more importantly, where what you do every day is taking you.

Is that the direction that you really want to go in?

If so, then that is excellent news, because what you have in front of you is a plan 'blueprint' created over the previous week or two based on actions as opposed to ideas, notions or words. If not, then you now have a detailed breakdown of where the most precious commodity that you possess (your time) is being frittered away whilst taking you no closer to the objective that you want to achieve. In effect, what you're looking at is an 'anti-plan' and if nothing else, that will show you all of the things that you do every day that you must stop doing. This too represents a very effective planning tool!
