One Year Commitment.

My one year commitment.

My name is Chysom Scott.  I am working with Mentoring For Free and the Success Team Builders.  As part of the training/set up, they asked me to write a few short essays.  I think this is good in a few ways.  First off it helps to improve a persons writing abilities, and it allows the mentors to be able to better coach writing techniques, and make editing and writing improvement suggestions.  Second, it almost forces a new team leader to really dig deep into there "why" and see if they can stand up to the challenges they will be sure to face.  And third it keeps gets our goals on paper which I believe is the first step to achieving them.

Perhaps I have put those in the wrong order.  It doesn't really matter to me.  They are all of about the same importance.  Anyways, constant self improvement requires constructive criticism, from both myself, and my mentors.  If I do not share my writing's with those that would have be do better, how could the properly guide me?  Or know whether or now I have even done it right in the first place.  This I think is a very important lesson I thankfully learned many years ago. If my mentors do not know how I am doing it, how could you teach me to be better you know what I mean?

Why I commit to one year.  To see whether or not I can actually succeed. In the Power of One, I can't clearly remember if was Richard Dennis or Don Standard, I think Richard, but I digress.  He says that if I can sponsor just one person per month, I can start making more money here, then in my real job in about 8 months.  So if I don't give it at least a year, how am I going to know whether or not it actually works?  I know I tend to ask a lot of questions that aren't really meant to be answered is that a good writing technique or should I be editing those to make a statement or something like that?  That one actually needs an answer.  I really want to help others, and become a leader in the industry.  I want to learn and share what I have learned so that many people I know can have better lives, if I can show them that I can do it, I can show them how they can do it as well, but It would be pointless to try and teach my brother how to do it, until I have already been successful.  Same with my friends, I have to know I can teach a stranger before I try to help my friends and family, if they even want my help that is.  Most importantly though is providing a good stable home for my son.  I have moved over 40 times in my life...I am 25 as of this writing.  I have made and lost friends so many times...Several different schools.  Nomadism..is kind of like a way of life, I do not think it is a very good one for a child though.  We shall see what we see eh.

And there you have it.  Why I want to achieve, and why I am making a one year commitment.  Cheers and thank you all very much for this great opportunity.

Chysom Scott.
