Mentors are invaluable for so many reasons, but essential for providing knowledge, motivation, advice and counsel, encouragement when you need it most, help with personal development and so much more.Mentors can become your go-to person for advice and support during hard times. They are also around to celebrate your wins, regardless if they are big or small. If you are lucky enough to find a personal mentor who can be all of these things to you, you will have an advantage over many others, because you have the right tools that can take you to the top!F.O.C.U.SFollow One Course Until Success. It is important to remain focused on a single task at a time to be more productive, to create quality work and to be less stressed. As you focus upon a single task, trying to avoid distractions, the brain begins to focus on that task all by itself. This allows you to accomplish the task much faster than if you are attempting to finish two or more tasks at the same time. If you can take control of your ability to focus, you have given yourself a powerful tool that will enable you to perform at a consistently high level and be both effective and efficient in your work efforts. Focusing will help you have better quality work, more success, and achievement of your professional goals.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

Face your fear of failingThe fear of failing can be immobilizing – it can cause us to do nothing, and therefore resist moving forward. But when we allow fear to stop our forward progress in life, we're likely to miss some great opportunities along the way.what makes us fearless is not the fact that we do not experience fear, but that we are confident that we can deal with the consequences of our actions. Instead of talking yourself out of the fear by hoping that nothing negative would happen, focus on building confidence to deal with the consequences.BooksTry a free Audible trial of any book here (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Free-Trial-Digital-Membership/dp/B00OPA2XFG?tag=samharris48%E2%80%9321)Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism That Masks Your Depression (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Perfectly-Hidden-Depression-Break-Perfectionism/dp/B087N4GGH7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=14WCW66NTXIGK&dchild=1&keywords=perfectly+hidden+depression&qid=1598980833&s=audible&sprefix=perfectly+hidd%2Caudible%2C335&sr=1-1) If you're ready to stop hiding and start healing, this groundbreaking book will guide you - every imperfect step of the waySyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

We don’t grow. We’re not challenged. We don’t get to find out what we’re made of. Breaking out of your comfort zone means taking up new challenges. This will automatically make you more productive as you work towards achieving the new goals.Getting out of your comfort zone from time to time creates just enough good stress to ramp up your focus, creativity, pace, and drive, and it helps you respond to life stress when unexpected things happen. Try to make small changes that take you out of the everyday and familiar, yet are not too emotionally challenging. You have within yourself the ability to make big change. Reach outReaching out does not just mean having someone listen to you. It also means you get access to information, advice, guidance and other kinds of assistance from different people. Yet, in our society, some value their independence so much that asking for help seems like a weakness.It's important to talk. Whether it’s sending a text, messaging on social media sites, leaving a comment on a blog, meeting up for a coffee and a chat or sending a good old-fashioned letter. These are things that can help. It’s important to reach out, to let people in. It may seem scary. But believe me, it’s amazing the weight that lifts afterward.
