It was the mentors that built this dropout. The mentors in my life didn't always know I was watching. I didn't always make it obvious but I was vigilant in seeking knowledge from the great minds of men that came across my walk in life.
Taking time to express interest in the younger minds can carry another man or woman to a better place or across the finish line.
The African Proverb "It takes a village to raise a child" speaks to mentorship.
When you receive a knock on your door, a phone call, email or a message through a social media app you might want to respond to what's coming to you.
It's not always appears to be what you might see. The lesson isn't always for the mentee, there are two sides to every coin. It was four years ago I met a young man at the gym. He had recently graduated from college and was seeking an opportunity in finance. We talked for a short time and I shared my card with him to reach out if he wanted to inquire about my career in the financial services industry. We communicated a few time in four years then the knock came again. I like knocks on the door because as a professional salesperson all my life I love the cold call. Nothing better than standing in front of someone who looks at you like boy you sure have nerve. I thrive on the hunt and the chase. I also thrive on watching the hunt and chase.
It is what great sales people do! They step out of their comfort zone into the uncomfortable and push to make it across the finish line. Next time you see a young hunter observe how they hunt, look for ways to learn from the hunter and discover how you too can become better too.
It's the seekers who can teach you, it's the hunters who gain respect!
There are no free hand outs for those on the sidelines. The reward is in those who take action to be builders of men and women.
Take time to open the door, take one more phone call you think you shouldn't, and a respond to one more person who is simply asking for a minute of your time. That minute can and likely will pay off for all involved.
It the man or woman who gets this far in the text I truly appreciate.
