Today's question goes to the topic of finding a mentor. I've been really looking into this this week as I feel it's very important for me to surround myself with people who have the same active drive for growth and success in the same facets of life that I do.
In the brief bit of digging I've done, the most common piece of advice I've heard is "Don't beg, provide value."
I can definitely see the reason that "Hey you're a big inspiration to me, will you hold my hand and guide me step-by-step through this entire journey" is a disgusting question and a bad mindset to approach with, my question is, how do I provide value to those who've got it made?
If I could surround myself with 5 people whom I would model myself after, it'd be
Now, what do these people all have in common? They've all achieved a large amount of success in their own respects. How does a random student from the Southern US provide value to people like this?
Many thanks,
Dillon
