“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” – Bob Proctor

As a teenager, I thought I had all the answers. I believed I knew what I wanted and how to achieve it. But as I grew older and faced the realities of life, I learned the value of seeking advice and guidance from those who have more experience and knowledge than me. This is where mentors come in – they are people who can offer you insights and support as you navigate your way through different aspects of life.

I’ve had many mentors throughout my life, and each one has taught me valuable lessons that I wouldn’t have learned on my own. For example, in my journey of learning Muay Thai, I realized that my instructors could easily spot my incorrect techniques that I wasn’t even aware of. It was humbling to accept that I needed guidance, but by doing so, I was able to improve my skills and become a better fighter. In the same way, having a mentor in any area of life can be a game-changer. Whether it’s in your career, personal life, or any other area, having someone to offer guidance and support can make a huge difference in your success and growth.

Reasons why having a mentor is important:

• Gain knowledge and expertise: Mentors have valuable experience and knowledge in a particular field that you may not have. They can teach you skills, techniques, and knowledge that can help you advance in your career or personal life.
• Receive guidance and advice: Mentors can see the mistakes you might not be able to spot. They have a better understanding of the topic and can provide you with guidance and advice to help you grow and improve.
• Networking: Mentors have a network of contacts and connections that can be useful to you. They can introduce you to people in your industry, provide references, or connect you to job opportunities.
• Accountability: Mentors can hold you accountable for your goals and help you stay focused and on track. They can provide you with support and encouragement, and help you overcome any obstacles or setbacks.
• Boost confidence: Having a mentor can boost your confidence and help you feel more competent and capable. Mentors can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, and help you develop the skills and abilities you need to succeed.
• Learn from their mistakes: Mentors have made their own mistakes and can teach you valuable lessons from their experiences. They can help you avoid making the same mistakes and help you learn from your own failures.

A mentor can guide you through the learning process and help you achieve your goals. It’s important to seek guidance from someone who has already mastered what you want to learn. You can have multiple mentors, each for a different expertise, and don’t be afraid to pay for their time and expertise. Having a mentor is an investment in yourself and your growth.
