I just recently learned that having a mentor would increase the chances of you being successful if you only follow what your mentor would tell you. Since I learned it, I'll been following on successful people and also learned that they too have mentors. Now that i am venturing to Real Estate Business, I seek help of a mentor. And I can testify that it's all worth it. My mentor tells me things that I never think is possible. He shared brilliant ideas on how to become successful in the field I am now. He even analyzed my personality and strengths and suggested a path where I need to focus on. I now appreciate every bits of having a mentor. How about you? Do you have a mentor?

When it comes to raising my child,I can say that I do have a mentor and that mentor is my MOM. All four of us grew up to be responsible, God-fearing and caring human beings that's why I know that I'm learning from the BEST. But financially I do hope I can find a mentor,a professional mentor who will teach me and guide on how to handle my finances well like Robert Kiyosaki author or "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". I want to be able to retire comfortably in the future.

It is especially important to have a mentor in our lives. That is because we decide to pursue our lifelong endeavours we still lack of experience. The mentor is one who has travelled the path himself and built a wealth of experience. If we learn from our mentor, then it would guide us to the correct direction. I believe a good mentor is someone who wishes for the happiness of his students or disciples, and will teach everything he could so that they are even greater than him. Then if the disciples strive as hard as the mentor, there is no obstacles they cannot overcome. I have a mentor in the discipline of photography and I would treasure him as much as I could.

a lot of people have made a difference in my life, indeed but i would say that i am a mentor to myself especially when it comes to my career. I started with the career ihave now with my own work, my own wants and my own drive to learn the things i was never thought to learn. i learned them all by myself and then i brought it with me and has never been, at any rate not giving in teaching others who has come after me. i teach and i share whatever i have learned on the job and it kinda build my name in my previous work. Now with the stuffs i learned, i was able to get a better and a more stable and suitable job. of course i still am thankful for the people who thinks i have done my work well. i have also a lot of previous bosses who trusted me, my decisions and supported them wholeheartedly because those most certainly brought more confidence in me.

Successful Through MLM - Randy Gage. My role model in MLM.
I always wanted to be mentored by successful business people and investors I admire. But the sad thing is, they are not available to mentor me. People like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Peter Lynch, William O'Neal, Robert Kiyosaki, John Gokongwei, Henry Sy, Randy Gage, all of them not available to mentor me! So instead of dreaming to be mentored by them, I just buy their books and learned from them through reading, their stories and the techniques they share...

When I was in college while doing my culmination project or a multimedia thesis I felt like I have lots of mentors including my mother that is my consultant for mathematics since my thesis was all about pattern games. I consider our professor as our mentor as well because of the art side by giving suggestions on what to do on our project that will not really suffer the art side. I was really grateful for having her as our mentor because she is really very helpful. She also shared with us her brilliant idea on what to do so that our final output will be more sensible.

Yes! That would be Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior, He is trustworthy though and I could learn all things, just my brain's capacity is not enough....

Yes, I think a good mentor is very helpful to one's success. A good mentor will greatly shorten your learning time, for his/her experience will help you to avoid useless tries. And you will quickly be equipped by a lot of useful experience within a short time. So I think it is really good to have a mentor. However, it is usually hard to find a good mentor. And congratualte that you have encountered a good mentor. Wish you big success.
