Every successful person had a mentor

[Wonder Work]

Instead of having a mentor, I dearly needed someone who will just encouraged me.

Successful people never do anything new, they try to do old things again in a new way in a new system. It is better to have someone from your family as a mentor because when will your family leave you? I think it is best to make a plan by discussing it with important family members.

There is no definition of success, if we talk about the definition of success, it is hard work in the right process. Everyone is successful in their own way. The path to success is never the same, everyone's journey is not the same, everyone's thinking is not the same, those who succeed focus on their personal opinions and move forward with a strong commitment to the path they focus on and work hard. In this way, they become successful because of their hard work.

I don't like anyone as a personal mentor now because when I read the history of previous successful people, I understand how to do it, so there is a need to recharge with the path of successful people. If you can recharge it well, then you will not need anyone as your mentor. You are your own mentor.

If you want to take such a person permanently and if you are looking for a person who can give you peace of mind and comfort in times of danger then I will definitely suggest you to choose a good girlfriend partner. A mentor does more than a good wife does.  Will help you in any task and if you are upset for any reason then will comfort you in that situation and will always encourage you. A mentor may not comfort you in times of trouble but a true good wife will surely comfort you in times of trouble and be by your side.

A good wife, but when we are not married and are still looking for a partner, then we can see our family who always gives support at all times without being asked. Before marriage, family can be the first person to give that encouragement, even they will do it without expecting anything. But when married, of course the wife should be the first person to give that support, and if we already have a child then the child will add to our enthusiasm. Maybe we often hear this, those who are tired of working will lose their tiredness when they get home and see their child grow and develop, I'm sure most of us have heard that story.

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

Doesn't this belief in an "experienced sensei" who will come and teach you everything look like a desire to take a passive position, putting all the responsibility for your success on this mentor?

To me, it looks like waiting for a "good daddy" who will solve all your problems for you. But what about your own path to overcoming difficulties without outside help? This increases the value of your achievements.

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.

Do these mentors have their own mentors? Who was the mentor of all mentors?

Of course, mentors make the path of development easier, but what should you do until you look for one? Sit around doing nothing? And while you're waiting for a mentor, you're already developing without one, which calls into question the necessity of his presence.

There is a category of "self-made" people. They somehow managed without mentors, didn't they?

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.

A sage sees a teacher mentor in everyone he meets. There is such a proverb.

I don't think you should get hung up on needing a mentor. Just one. There's a whole world out there of opportunities and people you can learn from.

Wife's can also be a support but we have to consider wether they have that mental capacity to put this up and there are reasons why people are scared of getting married, because women can either build or create more problems so I don't even add them to be a good support I will rather trust my family with what ever support am in need of than trust woman, even situations that your wife won't support you I don't think your family will ever neglect you and when you here of so stories then that way you will definitely be scared of woman, and when you say moltivation it's different.

But when it comes to mentorship I think it is better to stick to people that are more experience about life and bussiness because you will find it very easy to actually navigate out of challenges, especially when it comes to
Investment, because every successful person have who they are looking up and that is why it is not important to
Believe in your self to much because that is what is affect almost everyone because they have failed to let people in, take politicians for example they have God fathers and the rest.

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.

Having a mentor means alot in ascertaining your win in life that's  how some persons think and this is not that necessary because there are so many measures one can actually be successful with or without a mentor, tho role model and mentor may seem the same but like you said there are other factors that facilitates your being successful in life and it's start with you and your decisions.

Not every successful person had a mentor.

 success can be actualized through some crucial factors like: having a vision, setting
out goals and adapting to strategies which accelerate your success Independently.

Meanwhile , having a mentor who is willing to coach you and mentor you is an advantage, which it facilitate your hardworks towards success.

However, there is an adage that says! no man is an island. apparently what ever  goal you tend to achieve or maybe a business which you  wants to venture into, it becomes imperative to have a mentor  who is an expert or a guru in such field  ,who would give you guidelines and crucial orientation on how to start up such business  or attain your goals very effectively.

I've never really thought about this issue of mentorship to be an important thing in the journey of success, I do read books and read the part where the author talk about their mentors, and I do listen to interviews of successful people and they hear the part they always will make mention of someone they are looking up to, which I suspose is their mentor, but right here, I never thought about this thing to be that important..

I am not successful yet, but by the grace of God, I am not hungry, I am going well for myself without a mentor, I learnt all I know in crypto today without any one teaching me in person, and if actually God be God, I will achieve greater and super success without a mentor.

Being successful is not about having a mentor, it's about wisdom and understanding, knowing and doing what is right and at the right time.
I do have people I am teaching out crypto from time to time, but I've never seen myself as their mentor, and I don't want them to see me as one, we are just friends and friends help each other.

The success achieved is a series of what you hear, what you see and what you do. I mean each factor has its own portion that demands someone to success. Believe it or not, success cannot be achieved by relying only on yourself, there is an environment, people closest to you and loved ones who provide encouragement, both in the form of material and non-material, the nature of which cannot be seen. Aren't we social beings? we cannot stand alone and will depend on each other. This means that the success achieved is only the meeting point of a series of paths that you have passed. As for belief, God sends all these elements into our lives.

What you said makes sense, because in reality not all wives behave like that and even some I see are the ones who destroy their husbands' careers. I don't mean to blame anyone here, but that's just from what I see.
However, we also can't see it without looking at it from another perspective, for example from our side too. Can we be someone who is good for our wives? because I myself think that a wife is a reflection of her husband. I know that this will be something that will cause pros and cons, but I don't mind different opinions, I just convey what I think.
Like it or not, when you are married, both of these people will be involved in how to make the economy stable and everyone must take part in working together to move towards success.

Amazing assertion @Pusaka. How many people get to talk about the role and contribution of women in the success of men. How many of us appreciate the efforts our wives or girlfriends put into shaping our careers. Let me use this medium to cite example with myself. My girlfriend have really been there for me through the thick and thin and only me can imagine the extent she has went to support my career.

While she didn't have the financial capacity to support me monetarily, she was able to promptly come in whenever I needed her advice and consolation which was very helpful at that material time. I can't remember how many times my girlfriend have given me several business ideas and strategies to succeed in my entrepreneurial life. All of this goes to speak the level at which women go, to discomfort themselves and exhaust their time and efforts for your own growth. It's really beyond what I just mentioned.

Not every successful person had a mentor.

Indeed. There are people who succeed through self-taught learning. Having a mentor is actually not a must, but it is good if we have a mentor. A mentor can guide and teach us directly. This should create a higher chance to succeed.

success can be actualized through some crucial factors like: having a vision, setting
out goals and adapting to strategies which accelerate your success Independently.

IMO, the success will depend on some factors:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Mentality (work hard, never give up)
- Goal

Those are some basic factors that determine the success for someone. Regarding to have a vision or a goal, it is a must. How we can be successful to achieve something if we have no goal.  

However, there is an adage that says! no man is an island. apparently what ever  goal you tend to achieve or maybe a business which you  wants to venture into, it becomes imperative to have a mentor  who is an expert or a guru in such field  ,who would give you guidelines and crucial orientation on how to start up such business  or attain your goals very effectively.

So, what is your conclusion? Having a mentor is a must?
I think this statement is a bit contradictory with your statement above.

I may be late to respond to this thread - but I also have an opinion I'd like to share.
Having a mentor in any case is not mandatory - but it is needed so that the plans that are being built and developed are focused. A mentor can help to a certain extent - but he or she is not the judge of whether you are successful or not. There are many other factors you need to consider - one of which is hands-on practice and trying to get out of your comfort zone.

In fact - not everyone who takes risks is successful, but when you dare to take risks and try your best to improve, then you have a chance to change your fate. Many successful people out there have shared tips and advice - most of it useful and inspiring. However, to be successful you don't have to have a mentor, in fact you will be stronger if you do it yourself.

Human nature is very imitative, it can be understood well by observing the behavior or activities of children. There is a very popular proverb in our country and that is: A man is known by the company he keeps. Throughout history, it has been seen that every successful person has one or another successful teacher. Even if you read about the incident of Albert Einstein and his driver, you can understand how much knowledge the driver had while being with Albert Einstein. But whatever it is, it is not the same that there will always be a mentor or teacher behind every successful person. Many times despite not having a mentor or teacher people succeed in life from the very root level. You must always improve yourself, comparing the previous day with the present. You have to try to improve. You cannot imitate anyone exactly to be successful because the background of others and your own background will never be the same. You have to move forward with what is inside you.

If others have made it without getting a mentor, then what’s the difference if you also don’t get any? Success can be learned and develop, a working process wherein you need to prove your own worth and dedication so you can be valuable in the end. And when it happens, there’s no reason why success can’t be guaranteed. You just have to do your own right thing, even without someone that will lead you.

The difference is a matter of interest.
You have explained the matter very well. One has to do one's own work and do it with interest. Just as a lion hunts its prey similarly, if someone moves toward his goal and purpose, no obstacle can stop his path to success.

Not everyone has a mentor in their life or behind everyone's success. There are many people who have gone from zero to the highest level of success even though their journey to success was not easy. They are truly lucky to have someone to mentor them. I am new to a subject and if no one advises me on that subject then there is a high chance of me making a mistake in doing that but if someone who has done the same thing before or has a good idea about that thing informs me about it but I  There will be less chance of mistakes in that work.  So I think mentors are very important in everyone's life.

As you said, a mentor can be beneficial to a certain extent. There are many factors that determine success and the biggest factor that affects these factors is ourselves. A mentor can tell you what needs to be done to achieve success, but it is the person himself who will do it and implement it.

Taking risks is one of the steps needed to reach our goals. Risk should not always be taken, but it is important to know when to take risks. If you have a mentor, he can help you when to take risks, but what is said does not always lead to your goals. Improving yourself and working towards your plans is one of the best things a person can do for themselves.

Of course - a mentor can only help to a certain extent, the rest is your business. I never thought they would be responsible for whatever results you get – that's outside the rules that apply between mentor and student, unless there is an agreement between the two. Paid mentors are called tutors - they are special people who are paid to help someone understand and master what you want to learn and they are also not responsible for your success or failure.

Even though a mentor can help - it is best for this novice trader or investor to learn independently. Direct practice of the knowledge taught is basically much more important than just knowing the theory - this is what will shape the mentality of traders and investors. But whatever it is - don't do anything beyond your limits regardless of whether you have a mentor or not.

All of this goes to speak the level at which women go, to discomfort themselves and exhaust their time and efforts for your own growth. It's really beyond what I just mentioned.

I think you are lucky enough when you have a market like that, remember it's still a girlfriend not a "wife" I mean when she is always there when you are down, then most likely when she becomes a wife she will do the same thing, although it is not entirely because some people will change when they are married.
Many women that I have met or what some of my friends have told me, they are only there when they are happy, especially when the man's finances are very good. And when finances get worse, they will start to distance themselves. I am not generalizing and I do not mean to say that to women only. However, some men also have their own negative side, especially when their finances are on top.
Therefore, I suggest for those who are not married, both women and men, to find a partner who will always be there when they are happy or when they are sad, and provide support to each other.

Maybe some people got mentors or advisors to succeed in their lives but it may not be possible to find a mentor in everyone. So, those who do not get mentors will not be able to reach the best place in their lives? I think mentors are not an issue. A person has to analyze their own conscience and intelligence. In taking decisions, no one can ever take someone else to the highest place by advising them. You can follow others for your success, but I do not think that you need a mentor for that success. I believe that success is achieved through gaining your own knowledge. I do not think that there is much need for a mentor for this.

[fuguebtc]

It is possible to achieve success without having a mentor, but we must admit that without a mentor the path we will take is increasingly difficult, so many people choose a mentor they believe in to be able to guide them so they can achieve success quickly or more easily.
That applies everywhere, and even in trading or investing I think having a mentor or friend is a must, it will be quite helpful in achieving our goals.

It can be said that a mentor is an option, it would be great if we have a companion on the entrepreneurial path but if we don't have a companion, that won't stop us . Because not everyone has a choice and not everyone is lucky enough to have a mentor on their entrepreneurial journey.
Also , we should be confident in ourselves because it is our future instead of thinking that we need to depend on someone to succeed. Success comes from hard work and our own choices...not from the help of others. If we don't try and don't believe in ourselves , no mentor or advice can help us .

The idea that a person will become a good person or become established only by having a mentor is not correct because there are many big entrepreneurs and people in the world who did not have any mentor but they are established in the world and are still recognized as favorite persons. Yes but it must also be admitted that if a person always has an encouraging and stimulating person working behind him then surely that person will not go astray and has a lot of potential in achieving success in life as well as establishing himself.  However, among these individuals, parents and family work extensively as mentors, and from school teachers to good friends can be considered as mentors. But whatever you say, there is no problem with or without a mentor, if a person has perseverance, enough will power, hardworking attitude, courage and challenge, then he can definitely do good things in life, whether he has a mentor or not.
