June 4th, 2010
It was Socrates
who mentored Plato,
who mentored Aristotle,
who mentored Alexander the Great.
Do you have a mentor in your life? Not yet?
If you study successful people you fill find that typically they have one thing in common – a MENTOR.They understood the importance of having a mentor, a business coach, someone with more experience, someone who is already in a position in life that youdesire to be in the future.
Here is what a good mentor good for:
1. To define direction of your business
2. To choose right tools for developing your business
3. To predict the problems you are not aware of
4 To help avoinding many mistakes on your way to success
5. To get moral support in the time of weakness
6. To get honest feedback
A mentor will help you prevent mistakes that you can't avoid starting on your own. So don't reinvent the wheel, you will fail trying to figure out everything on your own. A mentor is not a friend, he will tell what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
I know it's not an easy task to find a mentor you admire, trust and want to follow. But it's not impossible! Just tune your consciousness and unconsciousness on getting one and I'm sure you will meet him/her.
If you already have a mentor, please share your experience!
