10. Most important: Learn self-pacing, and self direction. I’m not looking over your shoulder, so these assignments that you choose can be set up on your own time. One of my best volunteers explained to me that many people have employee mentality and not entrepreneur mentality. These are the kind of projects that will teach you to build your own self-discipline and job skills. We need volunteers who are self-starters, and we’ll teach you those skills.
