In a recent episode of the Live Full Work Fun podcast, I interviewed Shannon Mattern, a web designer and founder of The Web Designer Academy. The conversation centered around the importance of investing in mentorship, finding the right coach or mentor, and shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset.
The Importance of Investing in Mentorship
Shannon emphasized the importance of investing in mentorship for personal and professional growth. She shared her own experience of seeking out a mentor and how it helped her grow her business. According to her, having a mentor can help you gain a fresh perspective on your business, provide guidance, and help you avoid mistakes.
Shannon also stressed the need to find the right coach or mentor for individual needs. She believes that finding a mentor who resonates with where you are in your business and who can help you achieve your desired results is crucial. She recommends building relationships and reaching out to people who are getting the results you want. Asking for referrals and researching coaches and mentors before investing in them is also important.
Shifting from a Scarcity to an Abundance Mindset
During the podcast, Shannon talked about shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset. She explained how a scarcity mindset can limit opportunities whereas an abundance mindset can lead to greater success in personal and professional life. A scarcity mindset is characterized by fear, anxiety, and a belief that there is not enough to go around. On the other hand, an abundance mindset is characterized by confidence, optimism, and a belief that there is enough to go around.
Shannon believes that shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset can lead to greater opportunities and success in your work and personal life. She encourages listeners to focus on what they have, rather than what they lack, and to approach challenges with a positive mindset.
Designing a Work Life That’s Fun
Shannon encouraged listeners to design their work lives around their passions and to invest in themselves and their businesses. She highlighted the importance of finding a mentor who can help you achieve your desired results. According to Shannon, a mentor can help you gain the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in your business.
Shannon also stressed the importance of having fun in your work and designing your work life around your passions. She encourages listeners to invest in themselves and their businesses in order to achieve their desired results.
Final Thoughts
Investing in mentorship can be a valuable tool for personal and professional growth. Finding the right coach or mentor and having an abundance mindset can lead to greater success in work and personal life. Designing a work life that’s fun and investing in oneself and your business can lead to great opportunities.
