Find a Mentor!!!!!!

No matter what phase of life you are in, find a mentor.

I’ve always had strong mentors who have taught me invaluable lessons. I am a big supporter of mentors and believe they can offer wisdom that accelerates career growth and enhances overall fulfillment in life.

My Mentors & a few of the lessons taught:
- Age 0-13: My Father - Integrity, Faith, How to Love & **How to Play Spades**
- Age 13-17: Coach Jones - Commitment & Grit
- Age 17-20: Coach Larkins - The Value in Reading & How to Think Bigger
- Age 21-24: Sean Myers - Never Stop Learning

How important has mentorship been for you?

    Good post. I wholeheartedly agree that strong mentors are integral to a person's growth. Becasue I have a lot of RE investment experience I now mentor. But that in no way stops me from seeking and using strong mentors.

    100% there's always those who've gone before and will look out for those coming up. Mentors are key. Ask for help and ask great questions, I've found many people are willing to help.
