It is a beautiful Monday, and I decided to take this section off from my book writing project and share it with you guys. Most preferably to help out beginners in the creative economy.

Now,

In every profession, there must be an expert and a beginner. And a bush fire begins with just a spark of fire, so don't despise your humble beginnings. But it would help if you had a mentor in the front, someone who is in line with what you want to do.

A mentor will help when you are stranded or when you do something wrong. Our first mentors were our parents; they trained and guided us on some necessary life skills and behaviors. Without their support, I couldn't be where I'm today and to you as well.

Parents prepared you physically and intellectually before they handed you over to teachers. Teachers also did their best to train you on maturity and prepared you for a College or University. You again handed over to lecturers who made you ready for the government to now pay taxes. And that's the channel in human growth both mentally and physically.

After college, you become a responsible citizen and well informed on law-abiding responsibility as a citizen. You are now mature and ready to stand by your own. You look for a job and begin planning for your wedding and family, buy a car, home, and everything you were dreaming of. This a process that occurs from the mentorship we get from teachers and parents.

What about your creative career? You again need a mentor who will put you in a position to meet the client's specifications and qualifications.

A mentor will assist you with some corporate genes and characteristics. And how to brand yourself for your career and personal grooming. A mentor should be a person who has achieved much in his career and with enough experience to help you move fast.

A beginner shouldn't be your mentor because both of you are still learning, and helping each other will be challenging.

Most successful people didn't reach there alone; they had some human forces behind them. Many people are willing to support you, and they are waiting for you to knock on their doors. Ask for help from people above you. Spot your mentor with the same dream and interest so that you get qualified assistance every moment you are stuck.
