I remember back in college a handful of professors were able to find a balance between pushing me to do be better and providing me with the knowledge necessary to achieve that goal. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a mentor right now! To push you and give the knowledge needed for you to succeed. Impossible you say! No really – it’s possible.

 

 

A few years ago I had the pleasure to meet someone who has greatly influenced who I am right now. He was giving a seminar that I was attending through work. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. He challenged me that day and I’ve never been the same. He pushed the right buttons in me and it forever altered my course in life.

Sure it was a chance moment in that everything came together. However, it is up to you to open your eyes and see it. And ultimately to take action.

A mentor can be a valuable guide on your journey.

Do you have events that take place in the future? Are you having trouble keeping track of the documents for those future commitments?

 

What if I could show a simple system for filing these documents?

Do you need to delegate tasks? Do you need to ensure they are done correctly? If one step is missed in the process does it affect the outcome of your work?

Did you answer yes to any of these? I’ve repeatedly faced these problems and one way to solve them is to use a checklist.
