The importance of a mentor nowadays

[Hush]

How important is a mentor today ? Did you ever had one ?

I don`t think the importance of a mentor has gone away or changed, the amount of real leaders than can mentor has declined significantly though.

You can call it what you want, a mentor, a role model, a leader you are inspired by, they are very important. It can give you years of knowledge and experience with out the years of trial and error, mistakes. If you want to do XYZ and you find somebody who has spent their whole life mastering XYZ, of course it is better to study that person instead of studying XYZ.

I have different mentors for different areas of life. Its also important to learn that you too can/are a mentor to others. You have kids? Your a mentor and you better try to be good at it!

If you want to be like someone, you can make that person your role model or mentor. It will inspire you to make the changes you want to do and be the person you wanna be.

Modeling someone who is successful at what they do is the best way to become successful.

positive role models are awesome but if u are blessed enough to have a mentor, it will change ur life in a different kind of way.

You can always hire a coach and read lots of books.
Most people I run into keep things close to their chest as they are worried about the economy, so they are hesistant to mentor

Alot of people along with myself havent had the luxury of having a big brother or a mentor to show em the ropes in life. Scary thing nowadays is you could think you have found someone to mentor you about a certain job or just general life but they could be just out to scam you out of something (seen it).

Nowadays we do have a luxury with technology to get on message boards like this one and discuss about where each other failed in certain things and what you could do to avoid the mistake. Like teaching a noobie how to run their 1st cycle and what the hell a PCT is. Mentors are all over this board.

Id love to have someone who could help me get adjusted for a decent career and show me the ways.
