Now here is where
true "Mentoring" comes in.
Take a moment to share with her, (your) experiences with change. Reflect on how you felt, fears you faced, when you gave up your job to start company she works for now. Detail how you overcame obstacles and shut out noise of "nay sayers" who told you all reasons why your idea was crazy and you should forget about it.
Let her know you’re there to act as a positive support, a constant reminder that she can achieve her dream. Reinforce message that if and when she needs guidance, encouragement, or a shoulder to lean on during her transition, she can count on you!
Consider how great Nancy will feel walking into office each day, knowing that at end of regular business hours she’ll be heading right toward her life’s goal: to become a nurse and help others. How will she answer your company phone from that day forward?
What do you suppose her tone of voice and enthusiasm level will be when someone asks her about place where she works?
Think of terrific first impression she’ll make on job applicants and potential customers who walk through front door every day!
It paints a really pretty picture, doesn’t it?
"Mentoring your way to Millions" is a win-win proposition. Let’s face it, more you help others identify and pursue their dreams, greater support and backing you get from them in return.
As you read this, know that there’s someone out there waiting to hear about your story and gain insight from your past, someone who could truly be inspired by what you have to share. They are probably experiencing same exact things you went through, and could benefit from your wisdom, but don’t know whom to ask, and reward you will feel from sharing your insights is worth a million in itself.
So, here’s my suggestion, along with a call to action: Make it a mission to help others. Become a mentor, and reach out to those who want to hear your message.
Join AARP or any other organization that lets you call on people and offer your services.
Here are some great organizations that would love your help.

Can you imagine how wonderful it would have been if someone had reached out a helping hand when you needed it most?
Or better yet, perhaps someone did at one time of your life; isn’t that a great memory for you?
Right now, at this moment, you have same ability to make a difference.
Will you do it? I challenge you.
You know you want to, so take that action and get out there and make a difference.
Someone is waiting to hear from you.
To sweeten pot, and remove any excuses, at end of this letter, you’ll find my personal e-mail and phone number. When you’re ready and willing to take on this challenge, contact me and I’ll even assist you in finding someone to help.
Why do I offer this? It’s simple, really. I’m most selfish person you’ll ever meet. And I want YOU to be selfish too.
The joy received from watching others prosper and find that spark of hope is priceless. Now it’s your opportunity to enjoy this 'selfish' wealth, because when it's all said and done...
“The greatest success you’ll know is helping others succeed and grow.”
Best wishes, and whatever you do-
Keep Smilin'
