What Is A Mentor ?

A mentor is a big part of a persons success,
and a must have for leaping forward in your business!


Before I explain I have a short story to tell you that
I feel relates to what a mentor is !


Bernadine Dutra knows what it's like to be a child
wearing tattered old clothes to school, which was her
situation many years ago when she was a school girl.


Now in her seventies, Dutra, from Freemont, California,
has made sure children don't have to feel bad about
their clothing the way she did. She operates a used
clothing store, OneChild, that provides free clothing
to needy children. Each child gets a set of clothing,
plus books, school supplies and a backpack.

Dutra says the kids can come to her shop without
embarrassment and have a private appointment with a
personal shopper who will help them pick out their
attire.


This is a story from a paper that I was reading this
morning over breakfast. This story clicked in my head
the feeling that we all went threw, when first looking
to start up a business but had no idea where to start
and nothing to start with.

A mentor is a person that went threw the hard road on
building a business, they failed many times. They went
threw the highs and lows of emotions that a person goes
threw .

Most Mentors built a profitable business from nothing,
only a dream just like Bernadine in the story above.
She went threw hardship as a child, she knows the feeling
of having nothing and in a way she is a mentor herself.

Following a mentor cuts your time in half, they know what
works and can save you time, money, and many sleepless
knights .
