#34: Attracting Your Ideal Toy Mentor


Listen Later

Have you ever had a toy mentor? Have you ever searched for one? In today’s episode, The Toy Coach gives you four tips for attracting a valuable toy mentor. A toy mentor is someone who is more knowledgeable than you in a specific area of the toy industry, who may agree to educate, guide, advise, and motivate you as you develop your toy career. And the most valuable mentor you can have is one that aligns with your personality, way of thinking, and vision for the future.

In this episode, you’ll learn 4 tips to attract the ideal toy mentor for you. And you’ll learn how to start establishing that relationship before ever talking about the possibility of mentorship. If you follow these four tips, you’ll put yourself in a position to meet a likeminded person and create the opportunity to share your values and dreams in a way that will make industry professionals recognize you as a promising mentee. And yes, even if they weren’t looking for one.
