As I'm progressing through actions and hitting my goals of leaving my 9-5, I'm struggling in finding the right mentor(s) or even developing the right relationships with entrepreneurs. I feel that relationships are pretty important in business, especially when leveraging the internet and I need to do better at it.

My plan to deepen relationships, help others, and find mentors is:
  • Start posting here more often since there is so much value spread around :notworthy:
  • Pick 3-5 bloggers that I respect, and comment more often while trying to add value with every post. Start developing relationships with those individuals.
  • Be more active on Twitter, LinkedIN, Facebook with entrepreneurs who truly care about adding value and helping others. (successful or not)
  • Network and find people who are looking to be successful. Share my knowledge and help them on their journey.
  • Go to local Mastermind groups and start adding value that way.


What is your experience with someone like a mentor?



How did you create a relationship with the people most beneficial to your success?



Thanks in advance!
