Finding A Mentor Will Help Shape Your Future

There’s a guy in a manhole and he yells up to a doctor walking by. “Hey, can you help down here?” And the doctor writes a prescription and throws it down the hole.”

A few minutes later, a priest walks by and the guy in the hole yells out, “Hey, can you help me down here?” So the priest writes a prayer and throws it down the hole.

The guy sees his friend walk by and he yells up, “Hey Joe! Can you help me?”

So Joe jumps down the hole.

The guy says, “What are you, stupid? Now we’re both down here?”
And Joe says, “That’s OK, I’ve been down here before and I know the way out.”

Morale of the story: Many have walked the path before you. Find a successful mentor and meet with them weekly, monthly or quarterly. A mentor can provide incredible insights and help you through the rocky times, and the abundant times, in business.
If you are already successful – give back by sharing your wisdom and advice with a young entrepreneur.
