Mentor

Now that the election is over I went back to what I was doing before I started with the campaign.  Cutco!  I first started with Cutco back in 2005 in California but when I moved to Arizona a few years I did not have a customer base any longer so I stopped and did a number of different jobs but eventually went back to Cutco mainly because you can make your own schedule and the money can be pretty good.  But I knew I was missing a lot of guidance.  That was something that I really had a lot of in California but now that I am in Arizona I was lacking it.

I got in touch with a friend of mine who used to work with Cutco a few years ago and was pretty successful and now he does motivational speaking throughout the country.  We talked for a couple days and he agreed to be my mentor for a year.  He had done this with other people working in Cutco as well as other professions and they had shown growth in their business so I thought that it would be a great place to start.  Having this man in my life really helped get things in perspective.  Money, health, work and school.  Because we had only known each other for a short time it was easier to talk to him rather than my parents and friends who I had known for a longer period of time. 

Having a mentor was probably one of the best things I have ever committed to doing.  It helps you be accountable to someone else which is fantastic by the way.  And because we have these commitments and calls almost weekly I am driven to meet them, and if I don’t we talk about ways I can next time.  I really wish I would have started working with him earlier.
