Mentorship

For this week's blog, instead of writing about a current event that is going on, I will write about my meeting with Dan Laughlin for my mentor-ship. I found the meeting to be extremely helpful and interesting as I got a first hand advice from a very successful man who has worked in the field of business. I learned how passion and patience are key to a success in any career you choose which in my eyes relates to what being great is. If you do not love what you are doing, then you probably will not be good at it. Also, if you try to rush things and do to much at once then you will not accomplish anything. Another thing Dan taught me is how important it is to develop leadership skills. This is necessary because if you are to run a business, then it is essential to be able to guide others to accomplish different tasks. I was extremely happy with my meeting because I was unsure at how effective this mentor-ship would be coming in, but my worries quickly faded as Dan was friendly and very educated in his field. Some questions I plan on asking for future meetings will mostly be about starting a career in business from the ground up, and a good path to take that would help me in my quest. Overall I was very impressed with the effectiveness of my mentor as I thought that it may be awkward, but Dan was able to quickly break the ice and had us laughing and participating almost immediately. I truly am looking forward to my next meeting with him and the other members in my group.
