You don't find a mentor, you find your purpose, what you love doing that can be productive to you, or what you can do that can be productive and love doing it.
Trough the purpose you get a goal, by chasing the goal a mentor may come a mentor may not but that should not be you consern, focus on your self and on your goal.
I understand your point but understand that no matter anything you want to do now someone have done it before that is why you need a mentor so that things will be easy and faster. It is not necessary for you to have a mentor before you succeed but having a mentor will reduce time spend because already your mentor will have passed that stage you are currently and that will make things easier because they have passed through it.
Having a mentor is good,
But searching for a mentor is when it gets wrong. I personally can not leave my goal to get a mentor first, if something is meant for you it always have a way of gravitating to you.
If you are fortunate to have a mentor it's totally alright.
But you shouldn't go searching.
Beware this mentorship stuffs also has its own way of scamming individuals, so there are a lot reasons why you should not go searching, if it's meant for you it will come to you. If it's not then you'll Excel alone.
