A decade ago, as a young entrepreneur, I would often look at successful businesspeople and marvel at their resourcefulness, tenacity and vision. I wished I had the same internal mechanics that enabled them to overcome self-limiting beliefs, dream big, and find the right path.
I thought I needed to put in more hours to get the results they were getting, but when I was maxing myself out, my results got worse!
I now think the big difference was that they had a mentor / coach.
As Richard Branson said:
“Whenever I am asked what is the missing link between a promising businessperson and a successful one, mentoring comes to mind. […] If you ask any successful businessperson, they will always have had a great mentor at some point along the road.”
