A book is like a garden carried in the pocket –Chinese Proverb p. 154
We all need mentors, whether employed or self employed. I can list every single one of mine, who are related to the wine business. and from previous life incarnation. And I’m betting that you can, too. The need for expert counsel never stops. In Harvey Mackay’s book, Swim With The Sharks Without Getting Eaten Alive, Harvey gives us advice that whenever possible, never cold call; if you know someone who knows someone, pick up the phone and ask for an introduction.
This is how success works.
Have you ever actively thought about pursuing mentors? I haven’t, until I read the following book. Having mentors is one thing, for me. Targeting people? What an interesting concept. I’m really independent, so I haven’t ever pursued actually targeting people. I have this thing about Karma; but, I’ve never set about trying to set up my own Damara. I now think differently. Why not propel some projects, I came away thinking? This is how Ron Rubin and Stuart Avery Gold will make you think in their book.

- Years wrinkle the skin, but to live without passion, well, that wrinkles the soul. p.29
- The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white.–Lao Tzu p.38
- Regarding finding a mentor:
- …when you were a kid… You knew that when your parents finally took the training wheels off your bike and you went wobbly down the walk for the first time on two wheels, fell off, and scraped your knees, you knew that it meant nothing. You knew that the deal was that you got back up on the thing and tried again and again, and in time you were out riding with your friends like the wind. And the same applies here. Failing to catch and live your dream doesn’t result from falling down, but rather from staying down. p.65, 66
- We’ve got secrets. Secrets that we’ve shared with you these many pages, with the impassioned hope that you will share what you’ve learned with others who seek an inward light through a shadow of change. p. 142
