- Who are my mentors?
A careful consideration of all the factors above would help you to
identify who you need to seek for counsel in your set assignment. You would
have also determined what you need to take them on so that you don’t get there
and start rambling on irrelevances, wasting both their time and yours in the
process. It is always advisable to have highlighted all the other factors
before rushing to mentors.
- Who are my partners?
Taking time to answer all the questions above will also help to
determine the kind of people you would need as partners or running mates.
Knowing your own areas of strengths and weaknesses is also a critical factor to
determining who you seek to partner with you and what skills set you require to
deliver on the assignment.
- What preparations are required?
You will also need to determine the kind of preparation you would need
in order to deliver effectively on your assignment. What skills you need to
acquire, what training you need to do, what habit you need to acquire/shed etc
etc.
- What knowledge is required?
Acquisition of relevant knowledge is an aspect of preparation. But it
deserves to be treated as an independent factor so that it is not abandoned
altogether. You need to know the range of information you will require to
execute your assignment successfully. You also need to know where you can
access this information, whether they are formal or informal settings. What are
those things you need to know even before you start? What are the ones you need
to acquire on the go?
All these are the questions you would have to answer verifiably to
insure your inspiration and ensure that it does not end as “one of those ideas”
we all have and don’t give attention to until we see someone else thriving with
it.
