How having a mentor has changed my professional & personal life..

Written By Kyle Loftus

A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” — Bob Proctor.

I love this quote because it really speaks on the truth of what a mentor is and does. And I think finding and having a mentor can bring so much clarity on your journey to carve out your career path. However, I think far too many of us are falling for the quick hacks and courses that claim to change everything for you when in reality the change has to come from within. No course is going to show you the way, sure they can help teach you saving time and cutting corners but a course can only take you so far. A mentor shows you how you are capable of more than the limitations you put on yourself. 

Thus, I think it’s vital we all have a mentor or peers to help guide us and give us advice on our path. Even more so I think it’s important to listen to the people actually doing not claiming to have done it. Those who do, do and those you don’t, teach haha all jokes aside there’s some validity to that statement and it reminds me of a quote I love that goes, 

“Spoon feeding, in the long run, teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon” - EM Forester 

Essentially what this quote is saying is that someone can only teach you so much, you can only pull so much value from listening…the real lessons come in the doing, in the practice, and routine of effort. 

Find a mentor. Find someone to help guide you on your journey but make sure it’s a reliable source that isn’t teaching you things based on what they learned 15 years ago when they were “doing it” you need to find someone who’s still got their hands in the dirt, someone who’s still playing with fire 🔥 but willing to share the sauce as well 😋 and believes me I don’t know everything but I’m learning more every day and I’m here to share it all with you.
