Lessons I learned from my Mentor...

As all of you have noticed, I've been on social media hiatus before...

The truth is, my greatest fear in life is wasting it, so I grabbed that period to expand my network, build new connections, explore new opportunities, and learn a new skill from the top players in different niches.

One opportunity that is MOST memorable for me was when a US-based company opened a managerial position.

Well, it was not just an ordinary company because it's all about self-development, which resonates BEST with my passion and interest.

If you're familiar with Alpha M, then that's somehow close to the vibe that I'm trying to convey.

To cut the story short, I tried my luck and reached out...

And after how many calls and screening, I was able to be part of their team and learn how a multi-million dollar company thinks and hustle in the backend.

At first, I was overwhelmed because his team was full of world-class game-changers. No BS, they know their craft well, and they never stop improving.

I learned from the whole team about their leadership, proper scheduling, creating a stable system, building a strong brand with 2.5m+ subs on Youtube, and how to build a large net worth. 

I was completely stretched to my limit since this was my first time to be mentored by an international CEO, which is out of my comfort zone.

We all know that there is growth if you are in a challenging situation.

The very first lesson I learned is to ask GOOD questions. 

If you are asking questions, then definitely, you're thinking, and you are learning.

By asking questions, we improve our emotional intelligence.

It's better to prepare 50 GOOD questions before a meeting than not ask at all.

Asking a lot of questions means that you are stimulating your brain and comprehension.

I also learned the value of STOP WAITING. 

Waiting kills time, and it conveys that you don't act and decide on your own.

Better to make mistakes and learn from it than wait for approval, do not take action, and build the habit of "waiting."

The third lesson is to ALWAYS improve your skill. 

Own your position, your skill, and your responsibility.

Act as if you are the BEST in your craft but ALWAYS be kind, be open for feedback, and room for improvement. 

I believe that the BEST way to learn and improve is through APPLICATION and GETTING FEEDBACK from other people.

Improve your skill and be grittier, or other skilled players in the field will beat you.

Are there more lessons I've learned so far? Definitely!

But, it's not really about the number of lessons I've learned, but the number of changes I'm going to make and apply in my daily living. 

After immersing myself for five months, absorbing their culture, and being mentored...

I decided to let go and move on to apply what I have learned, focus on my brand, and strive for a larger vision and BIGGER goals. 

I will be forever grateful that I had the chance to be part of their team.

Working with them was a life-changing experience that made me a better person.

Love. Jerom
