But that begins to change as they are paired with more experienced mentors. What starts as different approaches to business development ultimately becomes different approaches to character development, with implications for their success and satisfaction as advisors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in play form, \u003ci\u003eThe Mentor\u003c\/i\u003e lays out the fundamental tension between the desire to help people and the need to succeed financially, addressing these issues in fictional form. By embodying these issues in a story, those ideas, literally and literarily, take on a life of their own and lodge themselves in the reader's heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough a short investment of time and imagination, financial advisors can decide whether they prefer to receive their business advice from a Jacob Pelowitz or a Robert Stephenson, and whether their career trajectory should rocket like Reggie's or be balanced like Benjamin's. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvents reach a crescendo by the play's end - in the sort of drama that every financial advisor will face in his or her career. Real-life drama of this kinds presents a moment of truth: Have I achieved my goals? Have I achieved them at somebody else's expense? Is this really the kind of career I want to have or the life I want to lead?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gil Weinreich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 865393944X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798653939440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.17d","brand":"Gil Weinreich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45478867009791,"sku":"9798653939440","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7dc2fa19-c97f-4f5f-a1b9-e406cabaf452.jpg?v=1715935873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mentor-gil-weinreich-9798653939440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
