Financial Mentorship

“In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.” - Robert T. Kiyosaki

There are countless websites and social media "Finfluencers" out there claiming to know it all, have the best insight or make predicitions about which meme stock is heading to the moon next. This makes sense since it is sensationalist at times, which is the bread and butter of most social media algorithms. However, I would like to make a comparison to explain the difference in purpose of  Finance Mentoring. The goal is not to make money, or gain a social media following, but to provide content that truly makes a difference in your life for the better.

The comparison I will use is that of a smartwatch ⌚ and a luxury traditional watch. Yes the latest smart watches have cool new features and look apealing at first but they were designed to become obsolete. I love my Apple watch which I received as a gift for my 21st birthday, but within a month it had scratches, and a few years later the software starts to age and before you know it, I probably won't be able to use it anymore. Conversely, an equivalent luxury watch that was designed to last a lifetime would be something to encapsulate memories for decades. The point I am making is with financial mentorship, what you want is sustainable fundamental mind shifting guidence that you will remember forever💡
