CHAPTER

The First Time We Met

"I want to be respectful of your time," he says. "You cannot be an effective disciple maker and or mentor if you don't spend a lot of time with [your mentee] Right?" He adds that it's not about meeting once a month for an hour, but giving them access so they can see how the business operates. 'They're going to need to see how you operate'

In fact, the first time we met, right? Because again, I'm, I understand because I'm a mentor of people. Yeah. I understand like as a mentor what I expect from people that I, that are mentees. Yeah. And one of the things that, you know, as a, as a mentee that I want to do, especially as we started getting, as we began the relationship was, I want to be respectfully be your time. Yeah. And when we met for the first time, I remember saying, okay, bro, well, I want to be a respectful your time. So, you know, let me know when you, you said, no, family got all the time in the world. Yeah. I'm like, all the time in the world. Yeah. Yeah. I've cleared my entire calendar. You, you're the only one. Yep. And I, that was, that like blew my mind. Right. Because that was literally the first time. Yep. Where I've been in a relationship with someone that is a mentor mentee type of relationship. Where there wasn't

a time limit. Right. Like,
Speaker 2
seriously, they usually like, Hey, I, you got, you got me for an hour. Yep. And that was never the case. Yeah. And from that time, to every time we've met, it's always been very open season. Yep. And there's been like no time restraints. That's right. And, and I've never felt like you, like set that weird expectations, even in body language.
Speaker 1
Right. Absolutely not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are looking at the, you know, keep tapping the phone. Right. Oh, man. Oh, you got another question. Right. You know what I mean? Right. Right. Okay. No. So, so here's the thing. You cannot be an effective disciple maker and or mentor. Meeting with somebody once a month for an hour. Right. There's no way you're going to put you into them. Right. And being a good disciple maker and being a good mentor means that you have to give up time and proximity and access. Right. You got to let them in. Right. You got to spend a lot of time with them or how they're going to have contact. They're going to need to see how you operate. You can't just tell them they got to see how this whole thing operates. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
