Most of you know how passionate I am about growth, and one way to make growth happen is to get a mentor.
Fast Company has a great compliment to the traditional mentoring model. I classify this article as a compliment, because it helps-not replace the traditional mentoring model. You don’t succeed in the journey alone. Regardless, as Fast Company states, self-discipline is very important.
Give me your thoughts.
So the bottom line, those that choose to learn through mentors or other channels grow and change continuouslly across their careers will be most successful. Just remember that the skills you have now are unlikely to be enough in the future. Acquiring new skills is the best insurance you can get from an uncertain future. If those skills are expereinces from those whom have traveled the road, then so be it. Some of us won’t face our limitations; we’ll make excuses , blame it on the boss, job or organization. Whatever your situation, as Eric put it, you don’t succeed in the journey alone.
