Mentor (Criteria)

Do you have a Mentor?

I've been thinking about this a lot as of late. Why is this important? I believe if you want to continue to grow as a person, you need someone in your life that you can be honest with and who is further down the road of life than you are.

When most people think of what a mentor is, the first think that comes to there mind is financial. I want to caution you. Do not set this as the #1 criteria when searching for a mentor. You need to look at the 5 "F's" in this order.
  1. Faith
  2. Family
  3. Friends
  4. Fitness
  5. Financial

You're mentor needs to be further down the road than you are in these 5 areas. In addition to these you need to look for the person who can fill your "gaps". Or what are trying to get better at?

I know finding a mentor is not easy. That's why you need to constantly be spending time with people. Always be aware of who is around you. Keep your eyes open!
