Sean: How much is too much to pay for self-improvement? What are the factors to consider before enrolling in a high ticket course, or hiring a mentor or coach?

Toni: Interesting. Okay for me, in my experience, I've never paid for a coach or a mentor. I never hired one, although I do know that there are people who will accept mentees, and then there's like a fee in exchange. But I actually allocate a portion of my income to my education fund. So on that fund, I know that, for example, if I come across a seminar, a paid talk or a course that I want to be a part of, then I just tap into that fund because I know that fund is really reserved for that purpose. So it's a bucket that I replenish every month so that in case I come across just what I've said, like a mentor that I want to hire, or a course, I can just tap into that fund. So I guess it really depends on how much of your income you're willing to budget for that. But in your case, since you are a mentor to a million already. So what do you say about that?

Sean: Actually, it's funny because a lot of people ask if I can mentor them, but I have rules if you want me to mentor you. It's not a lot. It's just three rules. Number one, what did you do about what we talked about? If we had the session already, what did you do about it? Because if you don't didn't do anything about it, then don't ask me to be your mentor or we can be friends, but not a mentor-mentee relationship, right? Number two would be, to ask me questions. Ask me your questions. So before we meet, I require you to have a list of 10, 20 questions or, you know, five questions, whatever it is you want to learn. And that's it. And number three, would be, when do you plan to apply all of these things? So it could be like questions first. When do you plan to apply? And then the next meeting, 'okay, what did you do?" just like that. It's actually quite simple how I mean their people. But if that isn't followed, then we shouldn't be mentor-mentee. And then I also don't book you. Usually, as the mentee, you book the mentor, you ask for the time.

Sean: And then this year we're planning to professionalize. So it's the first time we're considering hiring an executive, you know, an EVP, an executive vice president to join the team. I had no idea. Again, I'm an idiot when it comes to that. So I hit up the president of Ayala Land International, Ms. Ana Tatlonghari. I ask her, 'Hey, can you just give me one hour of your time?' And she's like, 'Of course.'

Toni: She's really open to it, huh?

Sean: Yeah, I spoke. I spoke at their event like three or four years ago, and she's game, and I learned a lot. And right now, we're trying to figure out how we're going to meld that in. So. And guys here's the thing: I didn't pay anything for any of that. I didn't pay anything. But I love these people. They know if I could be them, I would. But they didn't ask for my money. And this is because these are people who also love helping other people. Now, nothing wrong with paying for self-improvement, having an education fund like Toni, actually, I would recommend you have that because when an opportunity comes that there's a really, really good webinar that you could enroll in, or a really good coach or mentor that you can get might be life-changing, but do your research first.

Sean: "Okay, is this person really good to be a mentor? Does he or she really have the heart to help people or just for the money?" Because there's a lot of so-called "gurus" who are really con-artists" So there's a lot. I'm not going to name any. I'm just going to tell you, do your research.
