DO I REALLY NEED A MENTOR?

When your instinct is to do it on your own, why would you need a Mentor? Consider these benefits:

  • A source of information and knowledge
  • They see where you need to improve when you may not
  • They will offer encouragement and motivation – It can be very lonely being a Finance Broker
  • They are a great sounding board
