Questions to ask your mentor

This week I have prepared many hours on what I should be asking my mentor/entrepreneur. Here is just a few questions that I wanted to ask my mentor/entrepreneur. These questions have been on my mind and I hope to ask a few of them in my next phone call. 
1. How did you land your current role?
2. Did you envision this is where you would be five years ago?3. Can you tell me about a time when you had a difficult boss? How did you handle it?4. How did you learn to embrace failure?5. What’s the most important leadership lesson you’ve learned and how is it valuable?6. Tell me about a recent setback and how you recovered?7. Was there ever a job position that you applied for and got, but you weren’t 100% qualified?8. How did you build the skill of always speaking so engagingly in front of others?

Something also that I wanted to ask is, "where can I improve in my life?" I'm always looking to progress and become better and I could use all the tips and tricks I could get to do so. Something that I took away from our last phone call was that once we lose our health everything starts to go down hill. Make sure to always be keeping your health up and build habits to be in the best shape of your life.

A Hero's Journey

We were asked in our online class to watch a 22-minute video called "A Hero's Journey." What I took away from watching the video is that life is precious. Life can be taken away from us at any given moment and I feel we really need to not take our life for granted. We have a journey here on earth and we have one life to live it up. We are here to learn, to grow & to enjoy life to the fullest. I feel like each of us are on different paths and we are all in it together. In his talk, he talked about how he believed that some people in the very room that he was in, will be people who will change the world for the better. He talked about how he wanted to make a difference & he didn't know how to start. He also asked himself if he really has what it takes to succeed in life. He mentioned that we all have missions here on earth. A mission that will succeed our wildest dreams. In the talk, he said we will be able to succeed if we find our entrepreneurial calling. Most...

Bucket List - Top 3 working on right now.

Here are the top 3 things from my bucket list that I want to accomplish very soon. 1. Start a podcast this semester. 2. Improve on the LLC I have right now this semester. 3. Graduate in the next few semesters.  These things I have been thinking about a lot lately and want to achieve these goals very soon. I chose to put these as the top 3 because I want to set some goals right away to accomplish them. I feel like I need to set some daily habits that will help me with these goals I have. I need to stop procrastinating and set myself accountable for these 3 things on my list. I want to place these here to help me be accountable and start doing the necessary things daily to help achieve these goals. I have a vision to ultimately help people connect more and help society/community connect more. I recently have started working with people who have the same vision as I do and we want to help the next generations "Step away from the screen and make something." I feel that ther...

Week 11 - Hopkins Family issue

It really got me thinking when I read about the mini case study on Hopkins family issue. This was the issue -  "For as long as he could remember, David Hopkins wanted to be a successful high school football coach. He even dreamed of joining the college ranks one day. In late 2000, after having achieved an enviable win-loss record at a smaller school, he was named as the head football coach at a large West Texas high school that had a long tradition of winning state championships. On the same day, his wife filed for divorce. She cited Hopkins’s many days on the road as the primary reason for their separation, and announced that she and her four-year-old daughter were moving back to her East Texas hometown. If you were Hopkins, what would you do? Ponder this question and briefly discuss your answer below." If I was Hopkins I would evaluate my love & passion and see what's most important in my life. For me & my priorities, I put God, family & then work. ...
