They have tried their best and hopefully they succeeded You can’t expect that much from your parents, but some of the advice you get can take you further than you can imagine.

Our Parents is the best mentor in the world. They always say something that we can use it for life for our future, they say the truth about something, they tried the best their can do for us.

Don’t forget the little guy – so true.

You can add to it ‘Never Judge a Guy on 1st Impressions’ and ‘Be Nice To Those You Pass On the Way’ – as you never know what position they’ll be in when you come back that way!!

I always remember years ago when I was in sales, I called on a new potential customer at his store in London. The place was a total tip, dirty, untidy and not a very comfortable place to be. I do remember thinking I’d need to wipe my feet on the mat before leaving!!

Turns out – he was my biggest customer for the 3 years I serviced him – to the tune of 315% more than my next big customer – and they weren’t shabby either.

He actually worked from the store because it was the first he’d ever owned and he liked the pure nostalgia it gave him everyday. (He always arranged to meet the Tax and Revenue people there as well – said it helped set their expectations!!) He wholesaled a lot of the stuff he bought from me (this was in the 1980s) to Asia and India and made a killing.

He was one of the most polite, considerate and tough negotiators I ever met and I’m happy to say – remains a good friend to this day.

But on seeing his shop for the first time – I could so easily have assumed the wrong thing and walked away! The Little Guy isn’t always little and some who are – don’t always stay little!

I have yet to find 1 single person as a good mentor. I have learned a lot from a few different business people and this has worked for me so far. Most of these people have business sense but none have really done stuff with the web. Maybe one day I will find that mentor that makes all the difference.

Glad you found it useful Liz and thanks for sharing that article and quote

I think that this quote I’ve read off of a news journal (http://washington.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2009/05/18/editorial2.html) goes along well with your blog:

“Remember that you are here today because you stand on somebody’s shoulders. Wherever you are headed from here, you cannot get there alone.”

This is a great and informative peice on finding and establishing a relationship with a mentor, Neil. Thank you!

It is. I can tell you a million things, but if you never implement them, then it is useless.

I think everyone needs mentoring for different things, but you are right Neil. You are your own mentor in a certain extent. Just by reading can give you enough of information to move forward. It’s up to you to implement everything that’s learned.

Or as Gary V says, the only mentor you need is yourself. Just look into a mirror.

Definitely times are changing. Nowadays is good to have a mentor, to know where are you going or when you are going to do something stupid so mentor can stop you an save from later consequences.

None-the-less, you should consider checking out Andy.

Andy Lui? Pffff…

Chris Chrocker is my Mentor. You know why? Confidence. No one has confidence like large black women and openly gay men. No matter what they look or sound like they are happy to be in their skin and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Call me crazy, call me rude, It’s the truth.

If I had a fraction of the confidence Chris Crocker has I’d taken over the world by now.
