What’s your best piece of advice to a seller just getting started in their career?
Find a mentor

Sweden
@kate.higgins Love what you said about finding a mentor.
Curious if you could elaborate on that process — how did you build a relationship with a mentor, how did they help you evolve in your career? I think that topic be really interesting to share with the community.
Macklemore! Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. One of my favorites from The Heist album would be Wing$ and Can’t Hold Us. Have you heard any standouts from the BEN album?
I LOVE the new album!! No Bad Days, Day you Die, Maniac… honestly the entire album is great.
In all honesty, my mentors have either been partners or clients, not necessarily someone from my company. It wasn’t something that I was purposely looking for back in the day but just happened to develop the relationship and they grew into a mentorship role. So anytime I was contemplating taking a new offer at a new company, I would reach out to my mentors to just talk through it with them. They knew how I worked from a client and partner perspective which was very nice to have that outside council.
I’d love to develop a mentorship program here and find ways to connect people looking to engage in that kind of relationship — from both ends, really.
Would love any feedback you have on this 1:1 Connection activity: Databook Connect
Especially curious if these are the right questions to ask to help sellers find meaningful, longer-term relationships through the network here.
