What's a Mentor and how to find one?

 

A mentor doesn’t necessarily have to be someone you can meet in person. A mentor can also be virtual. Do you look up to a successful person or athlete? If you don’t know them personally or won't have the opportunity to meet with them to ask questions, the next best thing is to research them. Look for every interview they’ve given where they discuss their business strategies, goals, aspirations, failures, and successes. Take notes and consider following in their footsteps. Study their actions, character, and achievements in business. Do this with at least 4 different people and learn from their failures and successes.
