My peak areas of interest are Web, Biz, Design, & Dev.

Knowing these are my “core” or strength areas, I can recognize my weaknesses.

Looks like I should be watching more Business courses around Productivity & Soft Skills.

What can you actually get done? You have two children, a wife, extended family, and responsibilities, and you have a full-time profession.

What can you give up, or what can you rebalance and actually get done?

That's an adult decision. That's a tough thing to do.

❖ Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person.

❖ The mentor may be older or younger, but have a certain area of expertise.

❖ It is a learning and development partnership between someone with vast experience and someone who wants to learn.[1]
