Are you ready for a Mentor?

No matter where you are in your career, until you have hung it up, you need a mentor. When you first enter any industry everyone has ideas of how they should be a success, but if you take the time to look around you, you will find people who are doing things right and who are seemingly doing things right but having no success. Seek out those people that are doing things right with success and let them know you have noticed their success and you are looking to learn from them. Tell them initially you just would like to e-mail them a question once in a while and when they are ready to invest quality time, start by buying them a cup of coffee or lunch and pick their brain on what makes them successful. If you are having success, look to more successful people either in your industry or others and approach them about developing a mentor relationship. In the meantime, find someone new to mentor. By finding someone to mentor, you will rekindle the energy and passion you had when you entered your field, be reminded of you successes as you help the new person overcome their challenges and still have the opportunity to learn how others view and want to solve challenges. If you find yourself at the crossroads of not having anyone to mentor you, find a coach or mentor that will work with you for a fee. The nominal fee is often recouped in the first sale and often you are reminded of the reason that you are a success in the first place.
