Free to live with passion, with generosity, with gratitude and with peace of mind. This is financial freedom. It’s not an amount of money; it’s a state of mind.”

Finding a Mentor or Experienced Adviser

Connecting and networking with experienced advisers can help your business grow.  To find a mentor, you need to open your eyes and ears.  Oftentimes, they can be right in front of you – even in your own WPO chapter.

Learn the common, costly mistakes a mentor can help your business avoid or mitigate, where to find mentors, how to be a good mentee, and where to turn for additional resources.
