Do you have a mentor or coach to help guide you through life or business?
"The greatest and most successful people have coaches." This is a saying that one of my coaches uses very often and shows it by pointing out how some of the biggest names in sports and film & stage have multiple coaches to help them grow.
Think about it for a second - if you're an athlete, you have your coaches who tell you when to swing or stretch a double into a triple. You have your coaches who tell you when to go for the field goal or go for it on 4th down.
If you're an actor, you need your coaches to help you have the right "voice" for the part - whether it is an accent, a louder voice for the people in the back of the theater to hear you or how to come off on camera - the voice is important. But it's also about the acting itself. We wouldn't have actors that win the Academy Award for Best Actor/Actress if they weren't any good, right? How many of those actors do you think do it alone?
The same is true in life and business. We all need people - formally AND informally - to be there to give us guidance and support us in our goals and dreams.
We need people to show us the "shortcuts" to get us where we want to be and not be lost trying to figure it all out.
Having the right people in your corner is key to your success and growth - whether it is in your personal life or professional - so that you can reach your dreams.
Knowing who to have in your corner though as that guide is really important as you do not want to have someone that may not be ideally suited for your situation.
So, how do you find the right person?
It's a bit like trying on shoes - a lot of testing, but when you find that pair that fits, you don't let it go. It's the same when you find a mentor or coach that meshes with you and your situation - you never want to let them go either because the more success you have in what you're doing, you know they're seeing it too and celebrating with you.
