Speaker 1: John with another motivation moment for you courtesy of that

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: Moment with Damon John, a production of The Black Effect

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Check out this fact. According to

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Harvard Business Review study, eighty percent of CEO's credit their

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: success to have having a mentor in their life. You

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: are only gonna learn through two different forms, your mentors

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: or your mistakes, mentors or often books. But mentors can

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: be people you see they're doing things you want to do,

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: people that you run across that are accomplishing great things

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: and you realize, you know what I can be greater?

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: And how do you find mentors? Everybody asked about how

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: to find mentors, Well, seek out people that you want

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: to be and don't always think that these people have

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: to be in your industry. When somebody goes to get funding,

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: often they say, well, here is my board of advisors.

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: That means that one person is in finance, one person's

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: in retail, another person warehousing, another person is social media.

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: And what does that mean? Well, these are all people

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: that are my advisory board, and they believe in me.

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: They're co signing on me in anytime that I have

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: a problem with, whether it's your money or what to

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: do with this business, I can go to them. They're

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: mentoring me and their reverse mentorship as well. You may

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: be a young man or a young woman who is sixteen, seventeen,

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: twenty years old, but you know social media really well.

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: You go into a company where a bunch of people

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: understand the fundamentals of business, hence your Damon John's and

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: your Chemin O'Leary's and Barbara Corkman's of the world, but

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: we may not be as articulate on social media. Well,

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: all for to give us some mentorship, and in return,

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: can we give you mentorship. But all I want to

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: share with you is the fact that everybody who has

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: had some form of success can all attribute it to mentors.

35
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Right there in the study, eighty percent of the people

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: said it came from mentors. And when you are somebody

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: who have been mentored and you're a mentee, you always

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: want to pay it forward. So keep in mind mentorship

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: is your direct way to and path to success. Wishing

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: you all the best, so as you pick up more

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: momentum in your success, make sure you pick up more mentors.

42
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Life is a series of mentors, and they are not

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: just ones who are more successful to you. Maybe they're

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: the younger, hungry or version of you that will help

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,560
