Nobody NEEDS a mentor. I think I would like to have one though. Not as a coach, though - as a boss. I don't want to be an employee, but if I could work for somebody who knows they would benefit if I learned new skills, that would be cool. As opposed to, of course, a boss who just wants me to deep fry chicken wings to sell in their restaurant.
I guess the answer is to get really good at something that a good, relevant mentor would want, such as copywriting and/or sales, programming, design, etc. Still, sometimes I feel like I'm outside some sort of bubble, although I know that's ridiculous...
Although if I could just find somebody to follow me around all day and punch me in the face every time I started to f**k up, that'd be great.
I approached a friend with a business of mine cuz he could help me with the legwork (all the researching and gathering) I do the brainy business stuff and clue him in on it (show him how it is developed and why).
Its the best way to do it. I really enjoy doing business that way, cuz you just sit down, have dinner, talk, share data, make a break through and complete goals and move onto the next step.
"Mentors" are cool, up until the point they are pompous about things, bleh to that shit, business is best done round a table full of food, and while having a few drinks.
Just operate as equals that earn their keep, and make sure you are all motivated.
Any businessman that wants to act like a whiny b#tch, that thinks business has to be dry can gtfo imo.
Set up a round table and devide tasks up realistically towards peoples talents. Keep the excitement down by always letting everyone cool off, and regularly check in with each other to keep each other stimulated.
BTW, I do not believe in the "digging ditches" for mentors method of becoming successful. I think a good friend can utilise your talents immediately if he respects you.
If you are digging ditches, you should reevaluate if this guy actually gives a darn about your improvement or he is just interested in having a gloat to hide the fact he is SHIT with people.
