Mentors - Part 4

Another great source of mentoring in my life has been people who are a step or two ahead of me in some area of their life. There's nothing greater than seeking out someone who has more experience in a certain area of life then we do. Everything from Marriage, to Parenting. From Leadership to Church Growth. From Business to Finances. Whatever the area of life you desire to grow in, there is someone near you right now that you can learn from.

1. Seek them out. Invite them to coffee. Make an appointment. Whatever is appropriate. do that.

2. Come prepared. If they're going to give you their time, then make it worth their while and yours. Have more questions ready then you can possibly ask in your time together.

3. Ask the greatest question ever: "If you were me... what would you do?" This allows you to see them process a decision in your shoes.

4. Pick up the check. Remember it's an investment in yourself!

Just a bloggish thought,
