For me, having a mentor is quite important because you look up to them. And then you always ask yourself if you have learned enough. In a way, you idolize them and they are also responsible for your intellectual growth. You say, “I want to be like so and so in a certain number of years.” I’ve had a few mentors while growing up, notably my grandfather but in this internet marketing industry, you don’t really have to know your mentor personally because there are bunch of reputable players out there that openly help others and reveal their methods for success. You can learn alot by keeping up with their blog posts… yeah I know not every post is useful information, but you don’t want to miss out on anything because these guys are usually the first to post about breakthrough methods and advice. My advice for the new guys is to learn how to use a RSS reader because it make it so much easier to keep up with reading those blog posts.
