In this episode, part 2 of 2, Blaine discusses the last 3 most important things that a mentor should be teaching their apprentices if they are interested in being a ‘true mentor’. Anybody can teach somebody else the basics of appraising real estate. Very few people can take somebody under their wing and mentor them in these 7 areas effectively, at least not initially. 

Take some time to study up on these 7 areas and learn what each one of them means to a trainee and what they might mean in your business.

In this episode series (part 1 of 2), Blaine goes over the 7 areas that he believes true mentors should be covering in an appraiser mentorship program. In fact, these 7 areas should be mandatory in all business mentorship programs. The 7 areas covered would give the apprentice the greatest opportunity for success as an appraiser regardless of whether or not the trainee stays in the mentor’s company or goes out on their own.

Although one of the chief complaints amongst potential mentors is that they are training their competition, by training an apprentice properly, the chances of an apprentice leaving your organization drops drastically. Blaine goes over the strategies and what to teach so as to create the best atmosphere for growth and longevity within the mentor’s company. 

In this episode, Blaine recaps some of the important aspects from the last episode regarding meditation and exercise, and then opens the discussion about the last 2 letters, D and S, which stand for diet and sleep. The importance of all four of these things in terms of overall health, wellness, health span, longevity, energy and mood cannot be overstated!

Appraisers tend to sit at their desks much of the day and have fairly stressful jobs. There are time pressures, client demands, and the never ending requirements of being the chief cook and bottle washer in a small business. Minding the 4 categories in the MEDS acronym is of vital importance!

In this episode, Blaine talks about the 4 pillars of living your best life with the acronym MEDS, which stands for Meditation, Exercise, Diet, and Sleep. This is part 1 of a 2 part series and this episode covers the M and E parts of the acronym. Appraisers tend to sit for much of their day and tend to deal with a fair amount of stress. Meditation, exercise, proper diet, and good sleep are vital for longevity and a long health-span.

Listen in as Blaine walks you through the 'why' and the 'how' of both meditation and exercise for appraisers, and really anybody interested in a long health-span, instead of just a long lifespan.
