Advice you won’t hear often:
Get yourself a mentee.
Not a mentor.
Not a coach.
But get yourself at least one person to pour into and advise.
I have mentors and coaches.
Highly recommend them.
But I find I get just as much value (if not even MORE) from mentoring and coaching others.
Here's the thing, when you have to give advice …
It forces you to look back and evaluate.
When you have to explain your thought process and the path you took to success, it forces you to re-evaluate your own journey.
You pick apart your decisions, the detours, and the lessons learned along the way.
To think about the path you took …
To get from Point A to Point B.
(And C, D, E, F … and the time you revisited B.)
I find myself revisiting my own strategies and blind spots more than ever.
It's a constant process of learning and refinement, and honestly, I often get more out of these sessions than I give.
What is one way coaching or mentorship changed your life?
