REVEAL Your Potential — Be Mentored

I had the opportunity to be mentored recently and it was a truly life changing experience. I wanted to encourage you to seek out your own opportunity to be mentored. It’s really simple: find someone who is successful and do what they do.

What areas of your life are you looking to improve? Do you want to be better at your job? Find someone in your field or at your place of work and find out what they do. Do you want to be a better spouse, a better parent? Find someone you admire and find out what they do.

What are the benefits of being mentored?

1. You will identify your strengths and weakness. By learning what your strengths and weaknesses are you can learn to celebrate your strengths and focus on improving your areas of weakness.

2. You will build belief in yourself.

3. Create a vision. Know that you can accomplish whatever you want sometimes you just need to know where you are going and how to get there!!

4. Identify distractions. You will learn what is keeping you from your goals and how focus and organization can get you where you want to be. Finding success is simple. Simple steps every day can get us to our goals. But these things are easy to do, and just as easy not to do.

5. Get to your WHY. Your why is what fuels you. A mentor will help you identify what motivates you and that WHY will keep you going when the going gets tough.

6. Get out of your comfort zone. Change and growth isn’t always easy, but it is good for us to see what we are capable of. A mentor can help us identify where we can grow and change as we learn new skills.

So I challenge you to identify something in your life you could improve or change. It could be mental, physical, spiritual, your job, a skill–whatever it is write it down. Where are you now? Where would you like to be? Now find someone who is doing that thing successfully and ask them what they do. Be vulnerable and ask them to mentor you.

Be ready to work and reveal your true potential!
