Every successful person had a mentor

[xbartoni]

A person needs multiple mentors especially when he is in the family his parents are the most important mentors for him. Family spends most of the time so there is no need to have a bigger mentor than parents. While in university or school his teacher will be the biggest mentor in this case if he lives by following his teachers then he does not need an alternative mentor. While he is in the sport his senior players will be his biggest mentors as a senior player must inform the juniors about important things which if followed will surely lead to success in life.

A person's first experience comes from his family, where grandparents, parents play a significant role in leading his life. I think teachers play about 50% of the role in leading a good life. Family definitely plays a major role in leading a good life. If you work in a company, you will not get good advice from your seniors to move up because no one wants you to come to their position.

In the family, along with parents, you can also get good advice from your wife. Maybe you are lazy, in that case, you always show courage to overcome laziness and be the best through continuous verbal support from your wife.

At least from my few decades of experience, most successful people don't normally get that way from a mentor, but the number one person you will hear them credit/thanks, is their wife.  I'm sure some of you have been in this very boat with your wife.  They push our lazy asses and help us to become the best us that we can be (some of them) and I know that sounds cheesy but it's the legit truth. I hear it over and over again.

There is a motivation that makes us more enthusiastic in doing something, and it usually comes from family (wife, children, parents) who always support us. Maybe everyone will be ready when they get success, but support will be needed when we fail, and family is there when we are down about something. They are the ones who will always be there when we need encouragement, from there we will definitely think not to disappoint them, and from there the enthusiasm will grow even bigger. Family is the one who knows our efforts and hard work, they are the ones who will really know when we experience a problem.

In terms of learning, a mentor is very necessary, the first must be in the family, it plays an important role in giving us an impact in the future, because it will provide guidance on the path to success before you jump in to learn from another mentor, and the teacher becomes the second mentor after the family and it is most important to always respect .

That's right. Family support and motivation are one of the keys to achieving success because they are the ones who will always support us when we are down and give us encouragement when we start to give up. So you are lucky if you have always been able to communicate, chat, and discuss with your parents since you were little. You are lucky if your parents believe in you. You are lucky if you have parents as figures who can give you encouragement, not destroy you.

In addition, to achieve success, of course we must believe in the process, have a good mentor, but even if we don't have a mentor, we can still achieve success. To achieve success, we must focus and be consistent in one area, appreciate every second of that precious time. That's why I think not having a mentor can also achieve success because the initial capital if you want to be a successful person is mental, not lazy, keep learning, not giving up easily every time you find an obstacle and of course support from your family.

I would like to discuss this here to understand how many people decide to take this step to find a mentor?

I asked myself this question because in almost every book or interview with successful people I come across a mention of them having, or even currently having a mentor who guides them, helps them develop, and perhaps points out mistakes that will not allow them to grow.

This life we’re living in now, whatever a person come to do it’s better to have someone who can guide you in to the right path that we called mentor as you mentioned earlier, because that’s the most mistake some peoples made; and that’s what every they come to establish is not accomplished means is not going the way they want.

That’s why having a mentor of a background of what you try to lean is very important to avoid lose, example like this forum now assuming newbie’s as fund his self here and he didn’t on how it can be guide what are we think can happened to him; it definitely find this forum very difficult that’s have a mentor is very important.

Mentors play an important role in every success achieved. And maybe there are people who believe in the role of mentors in achieving success and maybe there are people who don't believe at all. It all comes back to each individual in responding to it.

But what is clear from the many successful people I have met, they all have a mentor. And they can be considered a mentor because of their experience, this experience is also the main asset of a mentor in helping others to achieve their success. Through what he has experienced, a mentor will not only provide direction, but also about various understandings, ideas and concepts that we may not have thought of before.

The presence of a mentor is very important, because they are people who will help us both morally and morally when we are in trouble or find a dead end. And on the other hand, having a mentor can also help us to find the potential that we have. And this mentor is not always formal, sometimes we can find a mentor in the form of a friend, relative, or family.

How good if you do have that kind of family on which it does really give out that kind of support on which we know that not all family will really be having that kind of interest or intellect that they will really be supporting someone who do have that dealing up with something specially if its really that pertaining on making money or whatever the things you've been dealing with.

Somehow when we do speak about success then this isnt something that will really be able to make yourself having that kind of situation on which it will really be that making you needing up some mentor
on which there would really be those individuals who do able to achieve success on which they have done it on solo or doesnt have any mentor and just obtain it for themselves.
Actually its not really something necessary when it comes into this aspect because everything could really be learnt if you are really that eager on learning it.

Success isnt something that would really be that so easy to obtain on which you will really be passing up tons of situations and conditions on where
you will really be needing up to learn with those things along the way.

That is why being married is such a double edge sword sometimes. When you are married, taking bigger risks is harder, because you do not know if you are going to do fine or not, you have no idea and you hope for the best. But at the same time, you may end up making some more profit and that would make the life of your family better as well.

So do you take the risk and could cause your family to be poorer if you fail, or do you take the risk to get richer and provide a better life for your family? Majority of the world do not take that risk all together, and end up doing nothing about it because they do not take that risk, they fear that they would bring their family a worse life. I am on similar boat, I never take huge risks, maybe tiny ones, like if I fail then nothing changes.

And I was interested in how many of you at some point decided that you needed a mentor, how difficult it was to find one and how did he help you? I suppose that few people use this, maybe even out of fear, because for example I don’t even know who it could be and how can I ask my future mentor about this if I manage to find such a person.

And maybe some of you have been a mentor for other people? Share your experience too, if it is not too much trouble for you.

The truth of the mater is weither you  acknowledge you have a mentor or not you definitely do have someone you learn things or follow their guide and principles you trying to do something that has been done before in such a way that has been done is followership . Sometimes mentorship is a physical or day to day instructions but it could also be as a result of following a person's principles or guidelines intensely. My opinion though

I will say that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and getting married is no exception. We can be limited or hindered when we have a family because then we are not only living for ourselves but also have a family waiting for us. But family can also be the motivation, the catalyst for us to work harder as well as the best spiritual medicine whenever we encounter difficulties.

As a man, whether married or not, it is important that we know how to balance our lives. We should not blame our family or make excuses that our family is a burden or barrier that prevents us from succeeding in life. What guarantees that without the burden of family, you will succeed? If you think you can be successful living alone, then where were you and what were you doing before you got married but were still poor?

[Wonder Work]

Behind every success is the hand of a mentor. We can never take any decision in life alone, only a consultant gives us the decision of the important steps in our life. Mentors can be from different sectors but initially for us parents and elder brothers and sisters are our main mentors. We move forward according to their advice and if we move forward in the way they guide us, we can snatch success.

Again, when we pass through the primary stage and move to the secondary stage, our mentors are slightly different. For example, in the primary stage, our mentors were respected parents and elder brothers and sisters of the family, but when we come to the secondary stage, those who advised us in the primary stage always advise us, but in the secondary stage. When we come and stay under the school college university, our mentors are our teachers. We then move forward according to the advice of the teachers to achieve success.

For success, we definitely need mentors who help us to achieve success from behind us with courage, we can achieve success very easily for their advice.

There is nothing wrong having a mentor and it can be an avenue for perfection which is why many people decided to have one so that the mentor, whether close or far from them can always be a guardian to the person. Just like the way you have explained, many of the millionaires and billionaires all have mentors which have been like a tools for them to keep working hard for a successful lifestyle. Anyone can choose to have a mentor depending on the kind of goal that we choose to achieve. There is some stage in our lives that will be necessary for us to have mentors that can guide us in our decision making shaping us and taking us closer to our goals.

You do not need to have a mentor before you can become successful in life. There are many successful people in life that does jot have a mentor.

Some people only like after a role model and they may want to be like such people and work towards it.

But know that success is not about having a mentor or looking after someone as a role model. It is about how smart you are in achieving successes. Opportunity and exposure are also very important.

You are absolutely right, having a mentor isn't a criteria for success, you can become very successful without having a role model or any one you look up to. Achieving success is all about dedication and consistency to you goals and ambitions. As a matter of fact having a mentor without having a drive or prospect would take you no where. Some people are of the opinion that having a mentor isn't necessary and believing in yourself and working hard is the only thing that matters, it's not entirely correct but it actually makes a lot of sense.

It is possible to make your way in business without a mentor. Some people just get dead lucky with the right idea and launch it with enough pace to dominate a market, but this is usually honed after lots of failures. Others will take advice from many different sources and develop a unique plan which makes a profit. A mentor suggests a single and dedicated person that steers you through all challenges, but I'd suggest that is very rarely the case - somebody that skilled is unlikely going to dedicate their limited time to training someone else, if they are effective at conducting business. It is also better to get broad ideas and detail from many different places to expand your range of knowledge.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same, I mean there could be individuals who are really willing to go to the hardship to be successful. Lucky for those who have mentors, but then again, every individual is different. And I will say that I want to go that route, without mentoring and me going to the process of learning it by myself. Lots of trial, and obviously you can lose a lot of money as well. But in the end if you are that person that is resilient, you will not let failure define you. But instead used it to motivate you and take it as a learning experience go to move forward and be the person that you want to be in every corner of your life, not just money wise.

Most "mentors" that helped the successful people are just people with network. For example lets say I have no money and no product, just an idea, who would care about me? Millions of people around the world has that, and yet if we do not have help, we can't do anything about it. Let's assume that whatever nation you are in, president is your uncle, or grandfather, which would make you rich of course, but let's assume that you are still not, you would just go to any bank, say president is your uncle, get any loan you want, easy, they wouldn't dare to reject you, and even if one does, the other would accept it.

You want to make a product, go to any factory, ask for help, who would reject presidents nephew? Nobody, and like previously, if one does, the other won't. President is a big one, it could be just some industrialist, it could be someone totally unrelated to you, but if they are your mentor, they can make a phone call, and get you whatever you want in life to progress your situation.

One funny thing about this mentorship is that you can do everything in your mentor way and still not make it in life. There is something about life, it's not about bed of roses, success has nothing to even do if you work everyday, you can work every day and still not be successful if life want to be unfair to you. You can be at the top of your game and life can bring you down under some seconds and there is nothing you can do or your mentor can do at that point.

Having a successful life is about been able to make what you plan for at the right opportunity, every successful person that you see today saw an opportunity even with the hard work, without it life becomes nothing, with all the plans you make and no opportunities, it is nothing. This is why the idea of mentorship is nothing to me in my opinion but I like seeing and hearing successful people as my own way of motivation but another man's life can't be my way to the top.

True that, one of the reason is that people tend to keep the most essential secret to their student.  It is rare to find a mentor that will expose all his knowledge, most just give people a basic guide and let them figure out the rest.  This is the reason why even if we have mentors, it is hard for us to reach what they had achieved unless they will really guide us step by step and tell us their secret formula to success.

It is all about decision making and the timing of how these decisions are executed.   Even with the best strategy if the execution misses the opportunity, all the effort will be in vain.

This is true about those successful people that I know, they have become successful even without any mentor at all. What inspired them is the battle of life and that means that they can stand on their own.

But for them to scale up, they need someone to help them for their business to grow and I think that's where the mentors can get in. They've given them some tips and help on how to increase and upgrade their businesses.

There are things that we cannot do alone even if we're successful, we did it on our own but when we want to have something for our business to expand, we need help from the others.

trying in every goal that we want is also one of them, to achieve success even without assistance a mentor someone can be more advanced, the need for enthusiasm in oneself can also motivate to make it better, because enthusiasm can show strong determination, to achieve the progress that is dreamed of for the future.
