TowTimes.com - Help in Setting Personal and Business Goals

[TowTimes]

The New Year is a great time to set some personal and/or business goals. For many, though, these new resolutions only last a couple of weeks or, if you’re lucky, a few months.

I think the key is to find a mentor or an experienced and trusted advisor to help you achieve the end goal in mind.

Mentors are valuable sources of knowledge, whether you want to take some college classes, change careers or learn a new hobby. Mentors have experienced similar milestones and can give you the best insight because they’ve already been through it. They can advise you on things such as how to save money, reduce your stress of trying something new, and be more efficient.

While nobody wants to receive criticism, a mentor offers constructive criticism to strengthen the areas of your life that needs improvement or personal growth. Drawing on their past experiences, they look for teaching moments that help you grow along the way.

Mentors also give you an extra boost of confidence because of the support and words of encouragement they offer when life gets tough, or you want to give up. Mentors are great motivators to help you keep trying to do your best despite challenges. Many times, working with a mentor is life-changing because they can help you achieve awareness and understanding of who you are and what you want to become.

I’m sure many of you could name a mentor, advisor, counselor or teacher who has helped you with either a personal or business goal. I know I’ve learned a lot from other women not only in the towing and recovery industry who have helped me along my career path.

My goal now is to give back and be a mentor to others.
