3 Rules to Reach a Mentor

How to increase your chances of winning their attention

I knew early on that having a mentor was a powerful ally to achieve success in life.

That's because:

Luckily I was always humble enough to know that with the help of others I could go further, faster.

Unfortunately, I didn’t always know how to correctly define a mentor, much less how to reach one.

I used to think that having a mentor would mean to fall in the grace of someone powerful, spend whole days working with him, learning with him through the process, being truly a disciple of a master.

Only when I got older I realize that that vision was inaccurate.

A mentor is someone that knows more about a certain topic than us and that somehow passes us that knowledge.

Following that line of thought, we don’t need to pass years with a mentor to learn from him. If someone can teach us something meaningful for our goals, we can call him a mentor.

We don’t need to know him or meet him, we don’t even need to talk to him. I have mentors that are such only by the books they write or content they share online.

But sometimes we have a particular problem that we’re not quite sure how to get an answer to, so we need more personal contact with an expert.

When that happens, I look up for people that I trust to have good knowledge on the subject and I try to reach them hoping they can reply.

Although simple, I try to follow a few recommendations to have better chances to succeed.
