There comes a time when we need a mentor. \u00a0All successful people have a personal mentor, or mentors. I have several and without them I would not be where I am. \u00a0I would have continued to follow the process of making &#8216;expensive mistakes&#8217; and follow the route of &#8216;expensive learning&#8217;. \u00a0My mentors saved me money by preventing me from doing the same mistakes over and over again. \u00a0I could not see these mistakes on my own because I did not see them as mistakes at all. \u00a0I believed that doing these things was helping me move ahead!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">What we do during workshops is what we cannot do in my books: help you personally by reviewing your work, reviewing your workflow, improving your specific way of doing things, and pointing out the areas where you can make the greatest change right here right now. \u00a0Books can&#8217;t do that because they address a multitude of readers. \u00a0Only personal teaching can achieve this goal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>About Alain Briot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I create fine art photographs, teach workshops and offer DVD tutorials on composition, image conversion, optimization, printing and marketing.
