Years ago, as a budding entrepreneur with more enthusiasm than know-how, I sought out recordings of motivational and business trainings and listened during my commute. Among my favorites were Tony Robbins, Earl Nightengale, Wayne Dyer and Robert Kiyosaki.  Repeated listening helped ~ a lot.  I became successful as a trainer and mentor to my own clients, but somewhere along the way, when my business "got busy",  I stopped listening.  That was my big mistake.  Lesson Number One ~ seek out Exemplary Mentors, and listen!

How to choose a mentor?
