Finding A LifePath Unlimited Team and Mentor

So you’ve done your research on LifePath Unlimited, or maybe another network marketing or home business opportunity, and are now ready to make the big decision about starting your own business. As you are about to join with a mentor or team, make sure you consider a few important things to make sure you receive the support and training you will need to build a successful business.

In the LifePath Unlimited business, many teams offer a customised training for their team members. So while you will be joining the same company as your fellow associates, the training and guidance you receive may differ.

Here are some questions you should ask a potential mentor to find out about the structure of their team, to know what to expect, and to see whether their approach fits what you are looking for:

1. About the training:
What does the training involve; how is it structured; how is it delivered; how long does it take to complete the initial training; is there further ongoing training provided?

2. About availability:
What hours are you usually available (then you will know when you can contact them); are there other people available to help if you are not available; how many people are you coaching at present?

3. About philosophy:
What is your approach to the business (e.g. casual, systematic, collaborative, etc); what is the most important aspect of the business to you; how involved are you within the company’s community; what are your likes and dislikes about this business?

4. About the team:
How do team members connect with each other (e.g. is there a shared site for networking); what is the team support like; what resources are shared between team members; will people who join my team have access to the same resources I have access to?

5. About marketing resources:
What are the marketing resources available to your team; what marketing strategies do you focus on; can you do the marketing for me while I am in training so that I can start making money right now (e.g. through a shared ad or cooperative); do you provide website hosting and templates?

Another important question you may be asking yourself is this: “Should I find a senior mentor and one who has been in the business for a long time?” The answer is ‘not necessarily”! In fact, as you can see through the questions in this article, there are things far more important than status in choosing a mentor! Leadership, diligence, resourcefulness, availability and the right approach are the criteria you should use. Also, the right mentor will come with a supportive and resourceful team, with members contributing with various skills and experience, and which will help you in creating your own success!

Finally, starting a business in network marketing will also place you in a mentor position, so while you will be able to rely on your team for support, remember that you may have to answer the questions outlined in this article as a mentor when speaking with potential prospects!
