Serious Question! Not ment to offend anyone!

Hello,

So I'm still very much a newbie and this is probably a newbie question. I don't mean to offend anyone but I figured I'd atleast ask Why do Guru's or the Experienced Investors waste there time with Investor clubs or even training others? I mean, I've attended a couple of clubs and I'm very happy with the people I've met and even the people teaching the classes. But I'm still curious as to why they do it? If they are successful themselves why waste the time teaching noobs like me? I understand some of them want to make money or sell there products, but if there doing so well in the industry themselves, the little money they would make off a new person like me is peanuts. So that's why I'm asking this question. Again not ment to offend anyone just wanted to get feedback. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Tommy, I can't speak for the big guys with the books, videos, etc. but as for me, I am mentoring two newbies currently... The reason, they are awesome guys that have shown interest, a willingness to help me out while I help them out and in the future it's a possibility that partnerships could come from the relationships. And, I love to help others succeed as well. It's a great feeling to see someone else begin to excel after you've taught them what you know and they put it into action. There's always plenty of deals available for anyone wanting to get started and I don't mind helping a few honest, hardworking guys get started in the business... That's the quick answer to why I sacrifice time and energy to mentor others just getting started.
