Key Takeaways
What is a guide: A guide is anyone who offers advice, guidance, role modelling, inspiration, help, instruction, or direction to someone. This means that we are all guides at one time or another.
To be a great guide you need to adopt the right mindset: This includes always striving to be your best, working to become better, and being empathetic to others.
Manage your ego so you can be confident: Having humility and being open to learning from your mistakes are i portent traits of great guides. Great guides are also confident. Great guides believe in themselves under pressure and duress.
Evolution: Becoming a guide is the quintessential evolution of a human being. We don’t become great guides overnight, and others may not trust us until we have proven ourselves to them.
