Blue Heinz can of baked beans with tomato sauce on toast is a hit at my house! When James Eder mentioned in episode 65 how he and his brother, Michael, came up with the name of their website company, Student Beans–now The Bean Group; I had to try a staple in the English diet. I added some fresh parmesan cheese on top and it was delicious! I called my neighbor friend who was born in England. He said he used to have the Blue Heinz can of baked beans with tomato sauce on toast every morning for breakfast growing up. Try it and let me know what you think on the WeMentor Facebook page.

James explains what he has learned from his three ventures: co-founding The Bean Group with his brother; starting and sustaining an initiative to get Camden Town alongside Kentish Town on the map; and Causr.co, the App that connects professionals on the go.

What do the two business ventures and the initiative have in common, besides James?

If you don’t have a clear vision about where you are going, learn from James. He has advice that has worked for him regarding intentions and clarity in your pitch delivery. Be ready for unpredictable things to happen. He describes his encounter with past Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, and explains how he sponsors his initiative. You will get ideas from listening to James.

Mentoring Tips

• Answer the questions after listening:
  • Revisit your intentions. Refine your intentions and really get clear on your vision to help others, plan it out. See what happens when you share your vision.
  • How have you connected with the community you live in since March 20, 2017, when Episode 65 aired (the second mentoring conversation with James).
  • How are the two businesses James founded and his neighborhood initiative connected?
  • How would you use Causr.co if you had downloaded the App from iTunes?
  • What ideas were triggered today? What ideas will you act upon?

I love this quote so much, I am using it again today. “Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” – Paulo Coelho
