Thank Your Mentor

I received a wonderful note today from a friend of mine. I’ve known her since her early days in the homebuilding business, and I count it a privilege to have mentored her along. Her message was warm and full of thanks, and I have to admit that it made me feel really good. In fact, it inspired me to invest even more in the people around me.

If you’re one of the fortunate ones, you can think back to the milestone events that formed your sales career. At the heart of those events you’re likely to find that special individual who at some point saw more in you than you saw in yourself, and who gave you both the opportunity and the encouragement to push you to new levels of both performance and success.

Don’t forget that. It might be time to check in with that person and remind them of the impact they had in your life.

Zig Ziglar once wrote that it is impossible to do something nice for someone without feeling better yourself. That’s really true. So go thank your mentor. After all, they changed your world!
