Mentorship - Jab Till It Hurts: Chapter 4 - #123

Listen Later

The question of mentorship arises almost daily on social platforms. When people ask about the value of mentors, they are met with lots of opinions like the value of "going it alone", or "mentorship is bullshit if you're a real entrepreneur".


If you think mentorship is a waste, don't listen to this chapter. If you want to know why I find mentorship valuable and why I think you will too, give it a listen.


Key Points from Chapter 4

  • Express gratitude to the people who have helped and inspire you. Don’t ask a potential mentor for help or investment. Just say thanks.
  • Spend the money to attend conferences in your industry, and go with the express purpose of connecting with other people.
  • Take a cue from Seth Godin and ask yourself, “What am I great at?”
  • Be open to giving and receiving mentorship anywhere—even in the middle seat.
  • Get specific about your mission and purpose, then figure out how to give value to people, whether it’s online or in your local community.
