Everyone does better when they have a coach or mentor in their life. Maybe even more than one mentor: a business mentor, a personal mentor; there are even retirement mentors who help you transition from the go-go workaday life to a more relaxed yet fulfilling and meaningful life. But the sad reality is, there just arent enough mentors to go around. The great news is, there are more than enough qualified people around who would make excellent mentors and coaches, if only they knew how.
