Find a Mentor on Social Networks
This is a
process, it isn’t as easy as tweeting “Be my mentor?” to the head honcho in
your chosen industry and be like an instant personal mentorship relationship
that you need but what you need first and foremost is know your industry. This
should be easy because knowing your industry is important for whichever startup
venture or entrepreneurial endeavor.
To know your
industry is to know your big wigs. Start following heavy hitters on the
channels they are recurrent and on social media they will be there for sure.
Then connect once you are following. Reach out over social media but remember
not to go overboard. Here is what you can do: leave a comment on a post
prompting a discussion, re-tweet an interesting article and look for
opportunities for personal connection.
It is time you
can ask for advice and mentorship once you’ve built up a rapport with your
mentor target because this is the time that this person knows you, knows a bit
of your story and already has positive associations with you because you’ve
given her content and business a signal boost.
You would look
desperate if you go up to a stranger and ask to be mentored. Build a personal
connection, help others and they’ll be more likely to want to return the favor...
