What does mentorship mean to you?
When I was a new nurse any hospital that I worked I was assigned to another person who had worked in the area for a while to show me the ropes. They taught me how to fill out the correct documentation.
The right methods of taking over the medication cart, how to chart in the records, the proper admission process, how to use the computers and so much more.
I needed someone to guide me until I could work on my own and knew what to do.

You are probably thinking “I don’t have the money.” but when you really look at your spending and what you spend your money on. It is usually there.
Example: A lady who wants to get a business product package for the last 6 months keeps talking about all the reasons she can’t get a package yet.

This lady gets her nails done every two-three weeks and has her hair
If she took what she spent on those two items alone and invested into getting her business started, getting her nails and hair done would be no problem in the future as she started to grow her business.

Having a mentor has changed my life. It changed how I look at a business. I have bigger and better ideas because I can see them differently than I do when I am on my own. Before I would look at things from my point of view and not from a business point of view.
I quickly learned that having a mentor that I paid for shortening the process for business growth that I was looking for.

Trying to figure something out you have never done is almost impossible to think bigger than what you can see in front of you.
I was unable to see the business the way I see it now, when I got started. Mentors can help you look at a problem in a new way, or find a solution to a problem that you may not have considered before. Beyond that, a mentor can help broaden your worldview and gain new ideas and experiences.
