(Un)Fair Advantage

Have you ever received advice that has prevented you from making a mistake, or saved you time and/or money?Have you ever been stuck in a situation and upon reflection, wished you had asked for help?This book is about how a series of life events, and the corresponding lessons, have all led to the same outcome, the importance of mentorship.Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger than the person being mentored. Oprah Winfrey was quoted as saying this ';A mentor is someone who allows you to see hope inside yourself'Some people realize that having a mentor in their life is important. Others don't, prior to January 2011, I was one of them.People with no idea on where their life is going and don't have help, get a road-block in their lives, a slap in the back of the head, metaphorically speaking, and I was certainly that person. I'll tell you why shortly.Throughout the book, I will share stories of my own life. I will call on some experts to back up my findings and ideas.I have practical checklists at the end of each chapter to demonstrate how a mentor can help you discover and work towards a 10/10 lifestyle. (An awesome life that will be different for every individual but discovered and enhanced with the help of a Mentor).A large portion of the general population have at some stage been ';Stuck' in their lives. They have had what I refer to as the ';White Knuckle' syndrome.The aim of this book is to bring awareness to this ';White Knuckle' syndrome and help people get out of a possible Rut. My ultimate purpose it to also bring awareness to the importance of a mentor who can help you become free of your pain and live your own 10/10 balanced lifestyle.
