Look for Specialists:
Consider what specific skills you want to develop.
Start by finding mentors who specialize in those core areas and are 2-3 steps ahead of you, not at the top of the mountain.
Look for relevant experience in the beginning, rather than status.

To land a mentor, you must reach out.
Start by expressing gratitude & explain how their advice has inspired you to take action.
Then, make an ask in a way that adds value. The best way?

Always Climb:

The best thing you can do is strive to be the weakest member of your inner circle at all times.
This means you are always growing, learning, and changing faster than anyone you know.
