WHY I NEED A MENTOR!

I need someone to help guide me when my thinking is "slightly off base" not majorly just slightly. Most Space Ships have to be corrected 90% of the time during their flight, or they would miss their mark by Millions of miles.
Look at people & their track records & see that now they have become famous....but it didn't start off with instant success.
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA.
At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.
At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.
At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.
At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs.
Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51.
Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40.
Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40.
Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42.
Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52.
Colonel Sanders was 66 before becoming successful at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Thomas Edison failed over 10,000 in discovering the light bulb.
Michael Jordan had something going on in his life that was bothering him. He left basketball to play baseball. Did terrible at baseball. Came back the NBA to become a Rock Star.
Einstein was told he would never do well in Math by his teacher and look how that turned out.
Be careful who you listen to. Find someone that shares their experience, strength and hope with you and guides you toward this: Getting rid of the things, thoughts, beliefs, hangups, unforgiveness, fears, doubts that keep you from becoming the man or woman God wants you to be.
The best is yet to be for you.
"The Person you are going to one day be you are NOW becoming that person!"
Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it.
Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is, especially when you Let Go & Let God have control of your life!

7 年Joel, thanks for liking my article. We have partnered with another company...RevenueSourceGroup.com - video that explains what they do. They help save money from the meter back to the Utility. They find errors or improper application of rates. Also Property Tax audits. They work all over North America. Would you be open to a conversation with Mark Parten...a 5 summer bookman? Let me know when are some times we could speak? 3 times and I'll pick one. Allen Clements
