WE ALL NEED MENTORS!


I have heard that success is a journey not a destination and I have heard that it is a destination not a journey? What's up with that????
What it boils down to is really who you become along the way. What you learn, who you associate with. These are the lessons of success. I was a blue collar machinist for almost 30 years when I started this hunt for a better life. It's not luck, it's having a plan. As the late, great Jim Rohn said it is setting your sail. You don't get there alone - no man is an island. We were fortunate to be around some great people and had the pleasure of being mentored by a few. Remember very few have done it alone. And you have to have a passion to serve rather than be served to receive true success. A life not lived for others is a life half lived, or as Albert Einstein said, "Only a life lived for others is worth living"...
