12:43.How to approach a potential mentor

If you're looking for a mentor or some solid advice, take the leap and ask. When I joined Marriott and later Disney, I didn't have mentors handed to me on a silver platter. I reached out, asked questions. Sought advice.

Do you know what I heard back?

Not now. Too busy. Maybe later. Not interested. Work harder. 

It feels frustrating getting halfhearted or no responses. It didn't stop me though. You can read my blog for more about what I did next.
