Now this is a touchy subject.   Hmmm…your greatest fear.  The very thought of someone probing into your deepest, inner thoughts can makes ones stomach twist and turn.
Do you know that statistics have shown that our worst fear is of public speaking?  Yes, that is it, the worst fear.  But you want to be a leader and leaders need to be able speak in public.   So you must overcome this fear.  Depending on your personality, you may need someone who can be objective with clarity…someone who is not only accurate with professional criticism, but kind to a point that your confidence grows.
That someone is your “Mentor”.  Good mentoring includes a simple model of growth:
I do – YOU watch
I do – YOU help
YOU do – I help
YOU do – I watch
True leadership embraces this simple concept…”A great leader is unafraid to mentor someone to a point wherein the mentee does not need the leader’s help anymore.”  A leader’s greatest asset lies in the ability to create the environment for learning.  When you can partner up with a leader of that caliber, you can become unstoppable. You can “push-through” your fears and be empowered.

Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
