that is out there when you suddenly have that realization.
Like there was no guy coming to rescue me.
There was no boss.
There was no mentor.
I learned from Oprah.
I learned from people in the magazines.
I learned from like the bosses at my work experience.
And when I say learned, like I would just copy those people.
That's what I did.
Oprah would say something good.
I would write it down and I would copy it.
For years, I sat with my boss like behind me so she could see my screen.
And that was the early days of online shopping.
And everyone in the office was like, how annoying is it that you sit in front of this woman because you can't do your online shopping?
And I was like.
It's amazing.
I write down everything this woman says.
And when she has a good line, I use it on my new business calls.
And it was like, you know, no one was coming to mentor me.
And so to me, especially now that I get asked, could you mentor me?
