The Power of Having a Mentor

 Many people in today's society like to adopt the do and learn method on their own. They do not like to be told by others how they should do something. However, this is not necessarily the smartest or the most efficient way to getting the outcome you desire. What would be a better way then?

 
Getting a Mentor!!
 
A mentor is someone who has more experience than you do in a particular field. The people who embrace having a mentor can make all the difference of them having average success vs. outstanding success. But what can a mentor really do for you?
 
More likely than not a mentor is someone who has the level of success you are aiming for. These individuals can help you to navigate the path you are on and can assist you in identifying future road blocks before they happen. How? Because they probably have hit these same road blocks already and can draw on their experience to help you watch out for them.
 
A mentor will be there to both challenge and motivate you at the same time. When you have questions, you will have someone who can answer them right away. They may even be able to provide you shortcuts to problems, as they have perfected the method of getting past them.
 
If you don't already have a mentor, it may be a good idea to find one who is where you see yourself in the future. These are people if you make their time worth while to help you and not waste their time, they may even use you to pass on their legacy to.
