What would your mentor say?
I was on the couch last night dreaming about asking someone I greatly admire for guidance
I would love to spend a full week with them
For them to hear my background
Observe my habits and routines
Be a fly on the wall for my process
Call out my blind spots
Answer my questions
And quell my concerns
But this person I’m thinking about
Is, right at this very moment, most likely in a basement in Austin, Texas, USA
With a bunch of sweaty people
Coaching them to be the best in the world in the art of unarmed combat
So, realistically, it might be a pretty big ask to have them follow me a round for a week :)
But is it necassry?
This morning
I woke up and opened my A5 notebook
And asked myself one question…
What guidance would x give me?
If they were to look me in the eye, over a cup of tea
And give me clear, honest, and actionable advice?
I was quite surprised by what they said…
Hope this helps
