I’m seeing a lot of people posting on social media talking about their ‘mentor’ or ‘coach’.
Generally they have the words ‘six-figure earning’ or ‘millionaire entrepreneur’ in front of the words.
These are people trying to sell their high ticket affiliate marketing programs.
Some people share pictures of themselves participating in online video calls with a group of people including their ‘mentor’.
Some ask if you want to join a Facebook group which has an ‘accountability mentor’ to help you stay on track.
What really is going on is that they are trying to get you to buy into the high ticket program they are promoting.
However…
It did have me thinking.
A lot of people who try something on their own fail because they are doing it alone.
I have seen people ask for ‘accountability buddies’ to help them keep on track and to make them accountable to the tasks they need to do or fail to do.
As hard as it is to believe, accountability buddies keep each other ‘on track’ because people find it easier to let themselves down than other people… even though the only person who benefits or sufferers from their own decisions and actions is themselves.
Accountability buddies are usually two people who are doing similar things and need support.
It’s a sad fact that many people who start an online business working on their own do not get the support from their friends and family, so they have to seek it elsewhere.
Facebook groups of likeminded people all doing the same thing can really help people. For success, a support network is a must for most people.
Occasionally there are a few ‘special’ people who can forcefully and obsessively plough through life and succeed without the support of others, but on the whole, most people need and want support.
So, is paying for an ‘accountability mentor’ or ‘coach’ a good idea?
Obviously these high ticket affiliate marketing programs are pricing these weekly online video chats into their product prices, plus it makes business sense for them to keep their ‘affiliate sales team’ pumped because for every sale they make, the mentor or company makes more money.
Sadly, some of the HTAM products remind me a lot of the old MLM networks, but casting that aside, helping people to succeed is a good thing.
Leaving people to figure it all out alone generally leads to failure. Those people then move onto the next product and spend more money trying to succeed at something new still without the support and encouragement from family.
Would it be a good idea to pay someone to coach and mentor you while you work through the fundamentals of a new business?
It doesn’t need to be coaching or mentoring in business application; it could simply be moral and emotional support and mentoring.
Mindset is fundamental to a successful business, and a lot of people do not get the support from those closes to them which can really harm and destroy a person’s positive mindset.
This had me thinking, is there a service there where you offer a service as an accountability ‘mentor’?

I’m sure there is an opportunity to offer mindset coaching and emotional and support to people for a price.
People need help and support.
They don’t always want or need more information, they just need genuine encouraging words from a person who understands what they are trying to do.
Encouragement is one of the most powerful forces in the world. Discouragement and negative comments are exceptionally destructive and can destroy a person and their chance of success.
Even the most thick skinned person can get to the point where they say ‘f**k it, I’ve had enough, it’s not worth the hassle!’ when they are getting grief from their family members.
It takes a lot or mental and emotional strength to ignore their comments and soldier on.
As I say, occasionally there are people who are born with the ability to ignore everyone around them and have complete single minded focus on what they are doing.
These people eat, sleep and breathe their business or passion. They are obsessed to the point that it is the only thing that matters in life.
Psychologists would probably class these people as ‘psychopaths’, or at the very least, ‘sociopaths’.
Richard Branson is a billionaire and I have read many times that as a child he was actively encouraged by his parents to try new things and do what he wanted.
Encouragement is an underrated business tool.
When people feel that they are fighting a battle alone without the support of family, a battle which will greatly benefit their family and loves ones, they will start to wonder why they are even bothering.
Negativity and discouragement is like a large anchor attached to a heavy thick chain wrapped around the person who is trying their hardest to progress and move forward.
It keeps holding them back.
Accountability buddies, mentors and coaches can counteract the negative messages or fill the hole from the lack of encouragement.
This could be an incredible business for the right person… what’s more you don’t necessarily need to create anything specific to teach.
You only really need to talk to people in a similar way to a therapist. Listen to what they have to say and discuss options. Encourage them to ‘keep on’ doing whatever it is that they are doing.
Any wisdom or specific coping mechanisms that you need to impart at times of great doubt or stress can be found in numerous books.
Have those books to hand, create a few ‘work sheets’ they can print off and simply talk to people either individually or as a group.
For many people encouragement is worth more than gold… because it can produce more gold.
You wouldn’t necessarily need a website for this business as you can find people on social media and use video call software like Zoom and Skype, but I do recommend having your own website because you can add a sales page with a payment button which will allow you to easily take payment for your services.

PS… A website can cost as little as a couple hundred pounds for two years but they can take thousands, tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of pounds in sales during that time.
Price your services and products right and you could be making a HUGE profit for very little running costs.
