Mentorship

Good mentorship is the one thing that makes leaders great and so few people have. A good mentor who believes in you, is great gift that is worth more then gold. Even when you're feeling down in the dumps a good mentor will look you right in the eye and tell you "you're a winner! now start acting like it". If you take a look at any great leader through history their will be a great mentor who raised them up. No Olympic gold medalist has achieved his victory without the hundreds of hours spend with their coach before hand.

Yet for some reason most people do not think they need a mentor. Maybe it's because they're already perfect and they got it all figured out already. "Who needs to take orders from some else anyway? I'm a ragged American who doesn't have to do anything if I don't want to". If this is your attitude then have fun trying, but never truly succeeding at anything in life. Their are those who have gone before you and half already done it. There's no reason to "reinvent to wheel" when someone already invented it.

Be smart and find someone who knows what he's doing, and knows how to in-courage you. Speak with them on a daily bases, and show them that your serious about what your goals are. Maybe they don't have to be someone in your business field. If they are someone who can uplift, in-courage, and not be afraid to rebuke you then, pursue that person.

God bless
