Mentors

Know what you are doing. Grants have replaced me with a kid out of college reading a book for dummies just because he’s cheap. A few months later my phone rings and I’m back on the job.

Know good people. I do. I’ve learned from them for 20 years and if I get out of retirement they’ll have my back and I’ll do the same, but I’m a bit rusty so give me a moment. Kick in wisdom.

Don’t be cocky. Learn from the masters. I have a few. Some business-related, some personal. It’s a loyalty thing and they put you through their paces. If you’re in, you’re in.

I know this has covered more territory than it should but wisdom says if you know it, you can do it. Dee
