There’s a Japanese Proverb that always reminds me of the power of mentors – Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher. To me, mentors first and foremost are role models; not only will they help accelerate your growth, and boost your confidence; I see the power of their example as their greatest gift. Naturally, if given the choice, most of us would prefer to be mentored by someone already at the pinnacle; and why not when you can leverage their expertise, grow from their wisdom, and perhaps most important; connect with their rolodex. The big caution, however, is to never forget that the road to the top always starts at the bottom.
