These 3 things I shared with you can and should be applied to every facet of your life.

They are fundamental to your success, relevance and value in this present time.

3 Quick definitions:

1. Skill is *the ability to do something well; expertise.*

2. Career is *an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress.*

3. Mentorship *is the guidance provided by a mentor, especially an experienced person*

And this definitions apply not to just "career people" or "job seekers"... This cuts across board for those building professional careers or building careers in entrepreneurship.

Like I said earlier *deep down, we all desire to provide value for people*.....and that is where our *relevance, reward and contribution lies*

Before I list them, I want you to know something.

God is a God of value addition.

- At the depth of our relevance as guys, we want to create value for others; either for profits or for pay.

- That is why we go to school, get a job, learn a skill, start a business, build a career etc. There is a connection between our sense of relevance and the need to add value.

Now the 3 things you must note from the story:

1. The wood cutter was functioning on past skills and realities.

The present reality in the world has made some people irrelevant, jobless or without customers. Those who have been able to adapt, re-tool and learn have been able to take advantage of this times.

The woodcutter could have either sharpened his tools (developed his skill) or gone for a chain saw (learnt skills beyond what was available)

2. The wood cutter could have gotten more people to cut with him.

The present realities in business or career has shown that we must leverage on the skills, knowledge, experience of others.

People who have the axe or the chain saw that can help us do more and get more results in good time.

3. The wood cutter could have asked for advice (mentorship)

You'll continue going in circles if you do not have a system that allows you to receive feedback, help, advice and inspiration in good time.

If the wood cutter was open to mentorship, he will have a learnt a lot in good time.
