Does Success Mean You Can Slow Down?

carrie-fisherI love reading quotations. Some of them are funny, some are motivational, some share a little bit of wisdom. There is one I found recently that I really liked from, believe it or not, actress Carrie Fisher. (Yes, Princess Leia.)

Carrie said,

I have had a number of what I call “double-secret mentors.” These are people from whom I have learned without even making direct contact. Instead, I studied what they did and how they did it so I could apply their knowledge to my business.

Not only did I learn a lot, in many cases I later got to meet these mentors. We have since become friends and colleagues, and I continue to learn from them.

Here is how you can get double-secret mentors of your own: [Read more…]
