Inspiring a focused and positive sense of spirit!
FindAMentor.org
We see mentoring as a natural life-long learning process, which everybody uses, but most don’t direct.
We believe positive thought and emotion help us achieve our desires and sift through challenging life situations. The easiest way to feel positive thought and emotion is to be around a mentor who has accomplished what we are seeking, or processed successfully through what we are in process with now. A mentor can invoke the emotional, thought and intentional processes in an apprentice thereby facilitating the state of being required for the apprentice to attract that which he or she desires.
We are building a database of mentors and apprentices—a safe community where people can find support for achieving their desires. We offer over 1400 Categories of interest ranging from careers, to education, to life process, to spirituality, so people can seek out guidance or share experiences in a specific part of life where there is mutual genuine desire for growth.
Michael Alexander and Shawna VonHohendorff have built this site with the help of others to offer an affordable important service to people from all walks of life. We believe informal and free mentoring in a casual environment is a very comforting and interesting way to learn and connect with others. At this site we offer affordable matching services for those seeking friends to learn with!
Michael Alexander is a writer, speaker and facilitator. He operates a business-consulting firm in human resources and business sale, acquisition and succession. He has experience in many industries and is considered an expert in communications technology (wireless and interactive voice response). He has experience in, and a very healthy broad understanding of the oilfield, construction, rental and retail industries. His passions are human communications, spirituality, nature and business. His purpose is bringing people together positively in as many ways as possible.
Michael first started exploring success concepts in 1977. When he was sixteen he was introduced to books written by Napoleon Hill, Og Mandino, Joseph Murphy, Norman Vincent Peale, Wayne Dyer, Claude Bristol and others. These were the Anthony Robbins’ and Brian Traceys’ of the 60’s and 70’s. He went on to deeper exploration through the writings of Shirley McLean, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Sri Yukteswar, Deepak Chopra, Gary Zukav and others, keeping in mind mentoring and apprenticing. He thinks these authors make up part of the mastermind who created FindAMentor.org and believes that they would support this concept, and some or all of the philosophies behind it. Michael has traveled to five continents and networked with a range of personalities from billionaires to homeless people on the streets of India. He is considered an expert mediator, expanded thinker with very good networking skills.
Shawna is a program coordinator at a harm reduction safe house for street sex-trade workers. She is considered an expert one-on-one communicator and mediator. She is a public speaker and an expert in coaching people on effective word choice. Her passion is to help others.
We believe the reason coaching and mentoring works so well is that, through mentoring, the apprentice learns to emulate the healthy thought, emotional and intentional process and patterns of the mentor and as a result attracts desired outcomes.
We believe the law of attraction or law of cause and effect is set into motion by our thoughts, feelings and intentions.
When I wanted to earn a six figure income I took the opportunity every time I could to visit with someone who earned six figures so that I could understand their emotional and thought process and trigger the same inside me. When I learned to think and feel like someone who earned a six-figure income I attracted it myself.
Do you have desire for balance in your life? Have you experienced patience? Do you feel Belief? Belief in yourself or someone else. Belief in something larger than us. Do you have a will to share your experiences and knowledge? Do you love? Do you feel a desire and a will to learn about something that truly interests you? How honest can you be? Are you grateful for the gifts you have in your life right now? These are questions we ask our visitors and ourselves. Finding these feelings inside is easier when we have the support of mentors.
Help us build the community? Will you look inside for a will to learn and a will to share?
Remember, it's a good idea to have many mentors. We don't have to be exactly like our mentors. We only have to take what fits for us from each one, and sometimes that’s nothing. Each mentor might offer a different point of view and we are therefore able to see many options. Accept the apprentice in you. Accept the mentor in you. It creates a cycle of giving and receiving that benefit all.
Three booklets offer support to members of the community. One takes us on a journey towards personal responsibility. One helps us develope healthy communication skills for one on one interactions and one shows different options for networking, mentoring, and apprenticing.
In the Networking booklet we define the informal, committed, mentor/apprentice relationship in more detail. The other two booklets offer straightforward ideas on how to build the attitude and communications skills required to succeed in business and relationships.
™The SuccessWarehouse.com
™Thesuccesswarehouse.com is a subsidiary of findamentor.org. The Success Warehouse is becoming a porthole site to other self-help web-sites. Eventually we will sell motivational products and other services as well.
We think a product has motivational value when it reminds people to feel successful in some aspect of their life.
Thanks for being here and reading.
Michael Alexander.
