The Gift Of Mentoring Others In Our Field
| I don’t know about you, but the summer is flying by for me here in South Florida. My kids have already been out of school for about 8 weeks and the first day of school (in mid-August) is right around the corner. Before the summer, I set all kinds of goals for myself, from launching a copywriting site for VAs (which is done! VAs check it out: http://www.copywritingforvas.com/) to walking for an hour every summer morning (ummm….hasn’t happened yet). As I told you in a previous post, I count on the summer to be a time for new work, great projects and growth – I shun the summer slowdown and hope you do, too! Do you ever receive questions or requests for advice from others in your field or area of expertise? Do you take the time to answer them? I have been fortunate to learn and benefit from some amazing mentors in my business life. Early on in my career, I promised myself I would always reply to anyone who asked me just about anything business-related and that I would always try to help as I was (and still am being) helped by others. Below, I excerpted some advice I sent to a budding copywriter who wrote me and asked me a series of questions (many of which I also answered in detail in a past blog post here: Advice To A New Copywriter). I’m no sage, but I do know what I know. I think this is decent advice for anyone in any business….hope you do, too!  Here was the question I received: What is the most important thing a new copywriter should do to ensure success? Here is the answer I gave: Whether you are new or experienced, these will apply to you:
