Great tips

I got some great tips from a friend of mine via LinkedIn about ways to gain insightful information and to meet up with like minded individuals. Although I do believe in a quality education, I also believe that learning from your peers is essential. Who better to bounce ideas off of than one who has been in your shoes? Everyone has to start somewhere and everyone has a beginning. There's no better place to pick up some valuable information than from someone who has been there before. Do you have a mentor? Is there someone in your life that encouraged you in your career and gave you some insight and some much needed direction? I think the online community is a great way to find a mentor via social media. Social media is a great way to connect with our peers and exchange information, ideas, and inspiration. Social media is not only for Facebook updates and family photos.
