The Importance Of Peer-to-Peer Mentorship and Self-Education
Many of us have heard about the importance of having a mentor, someone who you trust who will guide and advise you in the right direction in your career path and even sometimes life journey. However, finding a mentor isn’t always easy, and here at The Life Currency (TLC), we know how frustrating that can be especially when you truly want a confidante who you can turn to for guidance and advice when you need it most.
At TLC, we are committed to being that “mentor” you always wanted and needed by answering those tough questions and providing career and life advice in our content. We are dedicated to ensuring our content is thorough and thought-provoking, while also inspiring and motivating you to become your best self. We aren’t simply providing content—we are committed to offering our audience content mentorship.
In addition to content mentorship, we believe in peer-to-peer mentorship. It’s very common to seek a mentor who’s more experienced and established than you, but oftentimes the best advice may come from a peer. And quite frankly, your peers are more likely to uplift you and even offer opportunities to you in the future. It’s essential to remember that your network is indeed your net worth. Like Issa Rae once said, "We have a tendency of trying to network up, but it's really about networking across.”
In addition to mentorship and networking, it’s also important to never forget the value of self-guiding and education. Want to start your own business? Consider reading a book on entrepreneurship. Want to become more financially savvy? Subscribe to a money expert’s newsletter or take an online course on investing money. There are so many opportunities out there to educate yourself, from self-help books to podcasts and even YouTube.
In TLC’s members-only community, we will also stress the importance of peer-to-peer mentorship and self-guiding. We will offer exclusive content to members, and will even provide opportunities for members to network with one another in addition to the mentors in the community. If you want to be a part of the community, we invite you to join us. Learn more about joining here.
