The Art Of Mentoring

The Art of Mentoring: What is
mentoring?
If you’ve landed here you’re probably wondering
what mentoring really is.
You’re probably in a position where you feel like
you may need some help..
Or maybe you would like to dedicate yourself
to helping others in need..
Finding out exactly what mentoring is was a great primary step
for you to take.
Mentors take on many different roles depending on
who the mentee is.
Many people may have a mentor when they are first
beginning a new job or learning a new craft which
requires someone to over-watch and guide them through
learning correct procedures.
Mentoring is also very common in children’s lives..
Having a mentor to look up to and to be able to talk
with about anything can be a BIG help for many children
or teens who don’t have anyone else to turn to.
It’s always great to have someone that you can get
great advice from and mentoring makes this kind of
connection very accessible.
The Art Of Mentoring: Are You Fit To
Become A Mentor?
As Mentioned earlier mentors MUST be able to take on
different roles.
A mentor has to have adaptive skills so that they can
adjust to whatever situation or personality their
mentee may have.
Otherewise..Things are just pointless.
Is this something that you feel you can do?
Also as a mentor your personal attitude and motivations
have to align with what the job asks.
You can’t be a role model to someone else if you aren’t
motivated or have a positive mindset yourself.
It just doesn’t make sense..
And you could end up doing more damage than benefit to
whoever you’re mentoring.
Are you a positive and motivated person?
Lastly, a mentor has to be available.
This is huge because what’s the point in you mentoring
someone “every once in a while?”
Mentors have to build relationships with their mentees in
order to receive trust.
Consistently being available will help to build stronger and
more trustworthy relationships.
Are you willing to consistently be available?
If you’ve answered yes to all of these questions, you are
qualified to become a mentor.
You have all of the qualities to make a difference in someone’s
life.
The Art Of Mentoring: A Mentor’s Worth
A mentor’s worth is priceless.
Mentors can turn a heartbroken kid into a strong, motivated,
and
value filled leader.
Mentor’s can turn an intern who is “wet behind the ears,” into a
company and industry leader.
A mentor’s influence is very powerful and important to those
in need.
There are many different organizations all over the world that
are
open to bringing in new mentors.
Why not be the next one?

Here are some sites where you can find out more about
mentoring.

mentoring? Leave it in the box!

You CAN Think And Grow Rich
By tddouglas on April 21st, 2013
A lot of people don’t understand the very simple
key to getting rich.
Honestly, I had no Idea what it was either.
But after reading Napoleon Hill’s classic
“Think and Grow Rich,” I have been able
to grasp where riches begin.
So what is the secret?
Where do riches come from? you say.
Well the answer is simply in our own minds.
Literally.. that’s where riches begin.
This was a very confusing concept to me at first..
But after reading “Think and Grow Rich,” I have
been able to see exactly why this simple concept
is so powerful and true.
Think and Grow Rich..Literally
The title of the book is so literal.
It tells you exactly what to do on the cover,
but things will not begin to come together until
actually sitting down and opening it.
I was amazed at how fast I started having “ah hah”
moments.
It’s amazing to read a book that was first published
in 1937 that’s still so relevant to this day.
The teachings and guidelines in the book can be applied to
ANYONE’s life for self-improvement reasons.
I think one of the most important things I constantly
ran across within the book was how powerful a person’s
belief can be.
By powerful, I mean the magnitude of results a simple
belief can create.
The real-life examples given in the text support
this statement.
Think and Grow Rich: GET IT FAST
If you’re serious about making a change in your
life..
You need to get this book..FAST
Whether you’re trying to embark on a business
career…
Or just looking to become a better
and more leveled person..
Think and Grow Rich CAN help you.

How to: Pay Off Student Loans
By tddouglas on April 2nd, 2013
Oh No..I Have To Pay off
Student Loans
You finally finished school and you’re
happy and in celebration because of
your accomplishment.
All of a sudden something hits you
out of nowhere.

There’s something that you forgot about
but you can’t quite recall it
now because you’re so happy..
I’ll give you a hint..
It has a whole lot to do with money
leaving your pockets.
Yup that’s it..Your student loans.
Aren’t they just annoying?
You spent 4-8 years at this school and they just won’t leave you
alone.
Well, there’s no sense in complaining about
it now..
You need to figure out how you will get these
loans paid off.
You came to the right place because I’m going to
give you some tips on how to pay off student loanswith
confidence.
Pay Off Student Loans: Faster Is
Better
The first and most important step before you
start to pay off student loans is to create a plan.
Here is a list of primary steps to take when
formulating your plan:
• Figure out the exact amount that you owe.
• Take note of your interest rates(Fixed or Variable?)
• Calculate your personal finances.
• If you don’t have a source of income, find work.
• Consistently set aside money to go towards the payment
of your debt.
These preliminary steps are very important because
they will set your foundation for eliminating your
debts without hassle.
When dealing with student loan debt,
although you are typically given a long
time period to pay it off..
It is ALWAYS better to attack it early.
This is because interest rates can turn a
10,000 debt into a 30,000.
Imagine having to pay $20,000 more..
That’s a VERY hefty leap up and could
prevent you from getting that car or
house that you wanted.
Pay Off Student Loans: Use The Tools
Student loan organizations WANT you
to get your loans paid off.
Therefore there are plenty of tools and resources
available to help you do so.
One of the best tools that you can use is a
repayment calculator.
Repayment calculators allow you to figure
out how much money you will need to pay
monthly in order to pay off your loans by
whatever length of time you have targeted.
There are a few great options available to pay off
loan debt as well that help a lot.
Income Based Repayment is an option that allows
students to repay their loans based on whatever
their monthly income is.
Although helpful, this option is only available for
Federal loans.
Debt consolidation is another option which can
prove helpful to some.
Since most students will receive loans from
multiple sources..
debt consolidation allows the student to
combine their debts into one single account
so that managing repayment of loans is
convenient.
WARNING.
If you combine a federal loan with a private loan
you will lose the option of income based
repayment.
One final option is to setup an auto-debit.
This will set up an account of your choice to be
automatically charged for your monthly re-

payment fee.
Now this may sound bad at first glance..
But it’s actually beneficial since most
loan institutions offer discounts to those
who choose this option.
Also, you won’t have to worry about
remembering to make the payment
each month.
These tips are sure to get you on the right path
to pay off student loans.
How would you like to be able to get massive loans
paid off in a short amount of time?
I have 3 simple tips that will help you pay off
your student loans in NO TIME.
These tips are only for those who are serious
about being debt and worry free for the rest
of their lives.
CLICK HERE NOW to get access to these tips.
Don’t wait too long because interest rates don’t
procrastinate..
So why should you?

Video Game Design Tips: A
Crash Course For The Curious
By tddouglas on March 31st, 2013
Video Game Design Tips:
Where Do I Start?
I’ve been a big fan of video games throughout my entire
life..
Who hasn’t?
They’re fun and they just give you something to do when
you have a bad day at work and you just want
to come home and be able to destroy the world..
Without the real-life consequences of doing so.
The video game industry can be compared to
a very monumental melting pot.
There are so many different genres of games to choose from
to meet the needs of the many different faces of people who
play them.
Therefore in an industry with as much variety as the video
game
industry there is plenty of room for new up and coming
designers.
But where do you start?
These video game design tips will help you figure out where
you
should get started in your video game design career.
Video Game Design Tips: Where Do
I Start?
Obviously you’re interested in a career in video game design,
but you’re just kinda confused on where you should get things
started.
Well the first and most important thing that you can do is to
begin exercising your visualization skills.
Now I don’t mean that you should start trying to imagine your
brain
doing push-ups.
I simply mean that you should start visualizing exactly where
you
want your video game design career to go.
If you want to design RPG (Role Playing Games), then
you should envision yourself and the process that you
may possibly go through to develop these
sorts of games.
How will your games differ from some of the other games in
your chosen genre?
What will the environments look like?
What kind of music will you use?
Are you into developing games for a more mature audience or
a younger crowd?
These are all things that you should ask yourself and you
should not think that its ever to early to begin this thinking
process.
Research is a HUGE step when you’re in this stage.
Find out everything you can about your chosen genre and don’t

just read TAKE ACTION!
If you’re not already playing a lot of the other popular games
in the genre then you should be moving towards doing so as
soon
as possible.
Video Game Design Tips: Don’t Keep It a
Secret
One of the most important video game design tips
anyone can give you is to not keep your work a secret.
When you have gone through all the necessary steps and have
actually built a playable version of your game You should be
getting it out to the public so that you can get some opinions
on it.
You want to do some intensive bug-fixing and feedback which
will
require people other than yourself.
This is not like 2nd grade where you show your art and the
bully in
the school laughs at you.
Don’t be scared to put your game out in the public so that it can
become BETTER.
Video Game Design Tips: Funding
Building a video game can actually cost you quite a bit of
money.
That’s of course if you want to have the right equipment and
software to
make something that’s worth anyone’s time.
But wait..
Time is another factor as well.
I’m going to be realistic and tell you that you’re not gonna
program a game and get all the “kinks” straightened out with it
overnight.
It takes TIME..
Things like jobs get in the way of dreams like this..
So what’s the solution?
There is a way that you can get the TIME and MONEY
to be able to fully concentrate on building your
game or whatever other dreams you have.
Start making enough money and having enough time
to enjoy the things that you really want to
do in life.
