Spear 3875 Mentor Me Some Coffee

Cartoon of an executive and a younger guy. The exec says, “I’d like to mentor you. We can start by you getting me some coffee.”

Mentoring is a little more than finding a gopher to go get you some coffee and doughnuts. Mentoring is the attempt to teach someone the lessons you wish someone taught you when you started out in business.

Here is my mentoring tip for you today: do what you love, and don’t be afraid to charge for it. By the way, I’ll take a cup of coffee too.

A Caffeinated Treat

Spear 3714 A Caffeinated Treat

Cartoon of a woman and a trick or treater. The woman says, “Happy Halloween! Here, have a pumpkin spice latte!”

Several years ago, I took my son trick-or-treating. We came to a home that obviously wasn’t prepared. The lady was giving warm cans of soda pop to the kids. Each child just stared at the can an mumbled a “thank you,” as they tossed it in their treat bags.

Looking back on it, I would have preferred a latte.
