Find a Supporter 

Next find a supporter, a mentor. These are times you need to have support close at hand. Someone who understand where you are going and is able to offer practical advice on how to get there. These are people you trust and respect. 

Who can you ask to be your supporter? 

Who do you admire? Who has done what you want to do? Ask these people whether they will share with you what they did and how they did it. Ask if they would be your supporter. However, you need to tell them what you want from them, which is encouragement, understanding, honesty, the ability to ask the hard questions and to help keep you focused and positive. 

So who do you admire who has achieved what you want to do? 

Who do you know that you would like as a supporter / mentor?

Who do you know that would help you meet this person?
