Who’s Your Mentor

July, 2007

I am always amazed that so many people try to take on so much for which they are obviously unqualified. If you can't play the piano, how can you teach someone how to play the piano. You'll need to learn first. Gonna' teach yourself? How long will that take? Wouldn't it be easier to hire a teacher-a mentor?

Whenever we undertake a new venture, be it coaching youth basketball, some kind of business startup, a hobby or whatever—we usually need help.

We can go one-on-one with someone who knows what we want to know without ever leaving our home.

I’m ready to retire, and want to have a renewable income source to keep me financially secure for the rest of my life. I decided to take everything I’d been doing for more than fifty years in basketball and market it to the world. This would have been extremely difficult for me in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, but now in the new millennium, I can accomplish this via the internet.

Upon graduation from college my first basketball coaching position was at the middle school level and I found quickly that I needed more education.
