The Brand Yourself with Carlos Sarzeno: Online businesses are a very common thing in today’s age. The number one challenge is how to brand yourself. People join opportunities to make money online but keep getting stuck in the their journey to success.
⚠️ Mind, this is their 5th time trying something and in their mind thinking, It’s me the problem. That’s exactly what happens to 98{67f9f5d8c7dd4108325371528fce139f5a1bf2f2e7913dec4f52a4105992a0f2} of Entrepreneurs. ⚠️
I learned this from a Mentor in marketing business, He would say; “It’s not your fault”. You see, what the gurus don’t tell you is that they are making money off of you and not allowing yourself to grow.
Editor’s Experience:
My Breaking Point
💥
I was that person, jumping from tech companies to health products, hoping this time would be different for me. Nope, the crushing disappointment when reality hit made me think that, I was the problem. It was all a trap from the Industry.
Then I got caught by a another greed guru…
I believed in his vision, invested in his strategies, took risks. What happened? NOTHING. Finally I was done. I realized gurus are just after money, but let me tell you something.
You're not the problem, and neither was I.
Finding Real Mentorship
🎓
When I thought everything was over, I found a mentoring program that was different. They focused on building “you” for FREE. They showcased integrity, had real education, and weren’t after money. They were mentoring me to become a mentor with a servant’s heart. They said it’s how you brand yourself.
But by then…
I had decided to stop trying and quit the marketing Industry. I left the online opportunity world to accept my failure and move on.
For 10 years, I focused on one thing:
Learning from that mentor and community of mentors. I studied their audios and listened to them on my way to work, in my car and at home always. I had many of their Audio lessons and kept them in my heart, not knowing they would not be available on their website as of today.
🗝️ I was blessed to be able to download many of them, now that I think about it. That was an awesome Idea, because That was the best education about online marketing, including other personal value. They are truly a blessing to have. 🗝️
The Real Price
👷🏻♂️
I didn’t pay in cash. It was all F-R-E-E . The Audio Lessons helped me understand a lot about being an entrepreneur. The need to become more in order to have more. Again, I didn’t pay in cash, I paid by becoming someone else.
Yes, it hurt.
When real mentors tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear. It makes you uncomfortable but in the long run, when you accept it, it creates a different you. It creates your brand.
The real brand should be you
「 ✦ Place Name Here ✦ 」
I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is a price we need to pay and it’s not necessarily money. The price is what you will offer. But are you willing to go through that patience process? This is your brand.
Your story, your failures, embarrassment. But without accepting that there is a mindset shift that needs to happen in you, You still got no brand.
They were teaching me the value of Education, the skills I needed to function and take action. They did it for FREE and they did it from the heart. They taught me this valuable industry secret:
It's not about the money, It's about serving others. When you serve others, money comes naturally.
