Solid Advice on Mentorship - Where's the Proof?

Rarely does success come over night. As we've often heard, the 'overnight success'  typically comes as the result of years of hard work and dedication, coupled with the advice and input of many along that path. The true test comes from positive results, and that's often necessitates the passage of time.

One of the things I've appreciated over the years is the ability to access valuable information and resources that help entrepreneurs move forward with their business ideas. In a post to our "Business Success BLOG" on this same day, we talk about the important role of helping those interested in entrepreneurship to explore what's involved. That may start at an early stage as young people are still in the fomal education system, but it may equally extend to those who are further along, more mature and often with several years of  experience in the workforce.

I've enjoyed working with a friend and former colleague, Norm Greenwood. Norm shared some of his many insights related to mentorship when we got together and recorded this interview. Since then, we've managed to keep in touch and he still provides me with great perspective.  I consider Norm to be a mentor to me and look forward to those opportunities we have to get together. I think you'll learn a few things from my friend, and invite you to now view, and share this video with others.
