Chris McChesney, Wall Street Journal #1 National Best-Selling Author, speaks about how mentorship really works.
Mentorship is a two-way street.
Most people understand this conceptually, but when it comes to actually finding a mentor, they assume it’s a one way street. They think that if they find the right person, they’ll be willing to help.
More often than not, that’s not the case. The people who are worth listening to and getting advice from are already inundated with people reaching out for help. If you want to stand out and get their attention, you need to show them that you’re a partner and a peer, not just a student.
So how do you get a mentor? How do you get someone who's worth listening to and getting advice from to actually pay attention to you?
You show value to the mentor, and help them with a problem they're solving. More often than not the law of reciprocity holds true and they'll be more willing to help you in return.
