How to Convince High Profile People to Mentor You

I believe you can successfully convince nearly anyone to become your mentor.

I created this video to teach you the strategy I used to convince a high profile person in my industry to become my mentor.

I hope these tips help in your journey to find a mentor.

Here is a summary of the steps I outline in the video:

1) First ask yourself if you are mentee material.

2) Determine if you need to go beyond digital mentoring.

3) Identify 3 goals your potential mentor has within the next 12 months.

4) Get your potential mentor closer to 1 or more of the goals you’ve outlined (add value).

5) Update your potential mentor on your progress (even if they don’t respond).

6) Elevate your value to the potential mentor over time.

7) Repeats steps 3-6 over and over and over (it took me 4 years to repeat until I was successful).

8) Don’t ask. (If someone has to ask the question, the answer is probably no. When someone finds the right mentor, it is obvious. The question becomes a statement. Chasing or forcing that connection rarely works. – Sheryl Sandberg).
