The following article recently appeared in the CAL Advisor e-newsletter:

Mentoring – Why?

Yale conducted a study examining the success of graduating students over 20 years. They found that the 3% of the class that began with clear goals, held 97% of the wealth after 20 years. I don’t know about you, but I know which part of the class I want to be in. So how do we make sure our goals are REALLY clear?

Even as I write this, I know I am going to have others read the story and help me to clarify. This is mentoring; using others with greater experience (in this case; writing) to enhance your ability to succeed. Whether it is accountability, clarifying, reworking or understanding through questioning, mentoring helps us to move forward.

It’s fairly easy to see why someone just starting out in our industry might get involved in mentoring! Why should the experienced producer get involved? A friend told me they have named the 17th year in the career; the “stall year”. Tired, bored, fed up with compliance; some of us buy a Harley, some just give up, and some get mentors to move us forward. We may even decide to help a young person out and in the process, find someone to sell our business to.
