Picture this: a world-renowned mentor offers you to spend a week with him, unpaid, so that you can learn from the best. What reservations come to mind?
- “My team wouldn’t manage without me”: Perhaps that’s worth addressing now then, do you need to make recruiting or training a priority?
- “The pipeline would be empty upon my return”: Perhaps that’s worth addressing now then, do you need to get your marketing right, now?
- “My significant other wouldn’t like it”: Perhaps that’s worth addressing now then, do you need to get life aligned?
When you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready. When potential knocks, and it could truly help the important work you’re doing, it’s your duty.
