Turning your pain into purpose is how people turn solutions into businesses.
Long ago, I had a situation occur that created a barrier to me becoming licensed as a therapist. I had to find someone in my niche who could offer me post graduate supervision/mentorship to become licensed or I couldn’t work in my field. It had to be in person meetings with this person and there were only 3 people near my area that could offer me this service. Called all three, only one returned my call. Then I met with this supervisor for over a year and just a few months before I was to finish my hours for licensure, he hiked up the price on me with no notice. He said it was due to losing other mentees and so I, a broke and emerging clinician, had to pay that price. I had no alternative options and had to stick it out because I was too close to getting my hours. What he did was unethical but what he knew was I couldn’t start over and he was right. Wite Collar, a mentor marketplace, was born out of a need to create options for folks who need Mentorship for career or business advancement but it puts the power in the Mentee’s hands. They select the Mentors, we provide the options. We also provide oversight and regulation to protect Mentees and prevent scamming and abuse. If you are wanting Mentorship but fear is holding you back, do not let it! Wite Collar is here to help provide you with support and open the door to new opportunities for you if you are willing to walk through that door. If you are interested in receiving Mentorship with Wite Collar, please fill out our Jotform here: We hope to see you soon, Kira ~ Co-founder of the Wite Collar app

You ever started a partnership with someone and after some time of working with them, you realize the person is not a good fit for what you are trying to accomplish?
This happens all the time. This happened to me. A mismatch can be devastating. You try to figure out how to break things off but it is difficult. So you keep trying to make the relationship work but it just isn't working. It's a misalignment despite your best efforts. Eventually you have to have that difficult conversation and end the relationship which means your joint project or partnership comes to an end. Perhaps, you jumped in to quickly with this person and didn't ask the right questions. Or you misjudged their personality and thought it would be a good fit. But despite who was to blame, the results are the same; work has gone undone and now the project is stalled. Bad position to be in, right? If you have ever been through this before, you understand the importance of a right fit or match for a partnership or collaboration. Alignment is ideal for the success of any joint venture. But it can be difficult to know if alignment will occur without working together first and seeing if you are a good fit. However, this causes the stakes to be high if things go wrong. That's why me and my co-founder created Wite Collar. On the Wite Collar app, not only do we have a matching algorithm but we vet professionals before they even get to you. We also allow you to un-match from business professionals that are not a good fit for you without having to have the dreadful breakup conversation and find someone else that is more to your liking. Not convinced that it's that easy??? Sign up for our office hours and we will share more of what we do. Our office hours are every Tuesday from 1-2 pm EST and it's a drop-in meeting so that busy career and business professionals can attend and stay as long as their schedule will allow. If you want to participate in one of our meetings, text MENTORSHIP to 1-877-892-8868 or email us at [email protected]. See you soon. |
