In this special live episode from under the Sydney Harbor Bridge, #1 Bestselling Author, Mel Abraham answers a question about the importance of mentors, what to look for and how to get a good mentor.  Importance of Mentors Mentors are tremendously important for the growth and success of your future. We have to get the right mentor if we want to reach our dreams. They are like bridges that navigate you from point A to point B quickly and easily without having to deal with hazards, pitfalls and problems along the way. Mentors already know about such hazards and their knowledge prevents you from having to deal with the same. What to Look For in Mentors Mentors should have travelled the same journey that you are looking to travel. They should have the experience to share so you may be able to face the challenges. They should be able to clearly understand your values, visions and ideals. Their own values and visions should also be in alignment with yours. If it is not the case then they will bring in-congruency into your life. You will learn some good advice but that might not be related to the path you want to travel. Mentors should also be accessible not only from a time standpoint but emotionally as well. You should be able to have frank and transparent conversations with them at a deep level. Your mentor should be direct to point out the mistakes without sugarcoating them. How to Get a Good Mentor There are two ways you can get mentors: 1.     You can pay them making sure they are worth every penny that you've put in. 2.     You can serve them and they will reciprocate with their knowledge and experience. Think about where you want to be in the next twelve months and five years. Get yourself the right people who will help you get there. When compared to training and education, mentorship is the best choice to accelerate you to your destination, goals and vision.      ____________________ ABOUT MEL ABRAHAM Mel is the founder of Business Breakthrough Academy and Thoughtpreneur Academy where he helps entrepreneurs bring their businesses to the world and build the lifestyle that they want.
