Episode notes
Choose Mentors Who Listen Before Advising
- Choose mentors who understand your goals instead of trying to turn you into smaller versions of themselves.
- Great mentors listen for your fears, passions, skills, desires, and inhibitions before offering direction.
Study Mistakes You Can Actually Avoid
- People who have made serious mistakes may teach more useful lessons than people with flawless success.
- You often cannot replicate another person’s advantages, but you can avoid the pitfalls they encountered.
Build A Mentorship Practice From Any Source
- Treat books, podcasts, columns, and broadcasts as informal mentors that can challenge entrenched thinking.
- For formal mentorship, define the schedule, boundaries, commitments, and preparation expected from both people.
