When i started in this new path or career it was clear to me that i needed a mentor or point of reference towards success. Yes, i did buy some books and as much as i enjoyed and enlightening they are, nothing beats an actual successful person sharing his ideas and experiences. I read this article before and i did here the same ideas from different people."While some entrepreneurs have had the privilege of earning a business degree in college, or even an MBA, more people have gone through the business course of life and learned the entrepreneurial ropes the hard way: with bad decisions and expensive consequences. "
That being said, i learned early on that even some business man didn't really have that "privilege", Yes it is a plus factor if you have that but from what i read and successful people i interacted with some learn the ropes with experience. Most say it boils down to your attitude (I'll expand on that next time)
This is what i learned, if your going to get a mentor, work with yourself first. What do i mean? Set yourself first to be in the zone of learning, know who you are, what you want, your goals & targets then most importantly your attitude (strength and weaknesses). You cant afford to do a "shot gun approach" and waste time nor equally wasteful is learn later on that " i think im working with the wrong person, his ideas and ethics is different from mine"
"The teacher appears when the student is ready" When you know what you want and what you need it simplifies your list of who you want to approach since you know what you want and who can possibly feel it in & that somebody worth emulating.
Dont fret as well to ask help or get mentor ship from different people of success, as long as their ideas and concept are similar then the outcome is the same. Sometimes its the approach that is different, some ideology but different approach like that of the "Coach A & Coach B"
People get confuse easily if not the hardest challenge people face is to "ask for help". Its a golden rule to have a business mentor when you want to be successful.
