There are and there have been way smarter people than I am and that's my responsibility as a human to leverage their knowledge and experience to find shortcuts on my journey.

In a positive scenario, with time you're getting closer and closer to the point of reaching your goals. However, it's fair to say that if you thought about achieving something, there's 99,9% chance somebody else had the same desire. Moreover, there's a massive possibility there are people that are already on the path you're in... and they're ahead. That's completely normal and ok, and often times, the ones who are ahead look forward to share their knowledge and help others to jump on the experience ladder.

Today I'll share with you how valuable was finding mentors for me and the most important lessons I got during each stage of my career. We'll take a look how you can benefit from being a mentee and what are the steps to gain an incredible knowledge and fast-forward your growth.

Additionally I have to give credit to a book "Mastery" by Robert Green - it's been a crucial inspiration for this episode.

The concept of True North is an idea I analyzed deeply not that long ago, but it clicked in so many places in my self-awareness, I can't express how profound this concept is for any career, entrepreneurship or any life decision.

You're the captain of your ship and with the clear map and direction, you'll surely achieve greatness. I have zero doubt about it.

Welcome to Mac Thrive, a podcast where I want you to realize your full potential and become who you're supposed to be.

Today I'm going to show you how to get an "expert" status and qualifications for your dream job without a degree.

The ultimate goal: help you to realize your potential and become who you're supposed to be. However, I want that to be short and straight to the point - planting the seed is the most important thing. There will be references to my sources but I respect your time and I want you to get the most value in the shortest time possible.

If you've ever thought that the traditional education system often times don't give the directions and real life skills that will be valued, you're probably right. The thing is there's no particular goal behind your education if you think about it and a lot of people learn that the hard way after they graduate.  The difference with us is that we actually want to pursue work that's highly valued and gives satisfaction and fulfillment.

So, that's what we're here for. I know you want to make an impact on your life and career or business and I want to show you how to make that happen here.
