We all need to learn.  We enjoy learning and it helps us succeed.

You can learn by getting a formal education or you can get an apprenticeship for hands-on training.   What might be the best of both worlds is to go through a structure learning process with someone who has been successful in their field. 

You can actually listen to their ideas and processes.  Then you ask questions.  Get answers from someone who has already encountered those issues.

No matter how much you don’t know or how much you think you know, feedback from a knowledgeable person can be valuable.  Even if your friends and family support you, no one quite understands like someone who has done just what you want to do.  This is a great way to gain insight and knowledge -- talk with a Mentor.

CAN THE U.S. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE HELP?

We will talk about how to find a mentor, but first let’s talk about why!

In my view, it starts with the Declaration of Independence of the United States. What, you say!  Just hear me out.

For a United States citizen, the Declaration of Independence expresses that we have the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is not the pursuit of pleasure or the pursuit of wealth. It is more toward the feeling one enjoys when one is content and enjoys life - - happiness.  It is also not about the achievement of happiness, but the pursuit.

A person cannot engage in the pursuit of happiness without the liberty or freedom to do so. If you were not free, then you would not be able to pursue.

Similarly, you must have a life and an attitude to move forward to be able to exercise your freedom.

All elements are needed to be successful. You must have life, liberty, and then you can pursue your happiness.

Fortunately, I want to present to you a way to feel engaged in life, to exercise your liberty, and to pursue your happiness in a new career field by providing access to individuals experienced in their respective career fields. They can pass on to you their insight into what is truly involved in their career field, what causes some people to succeed while others fail. This is the best way to determine how to find a mentor.

They can help you get access to information about your desired career in a timely manner and without a hassle.  Instead of trying to learn information about who you might be able to talk to about being your mentor, then trying to convince them that they will enjoy mentoring you and defining a way to do just that, you can just look at our list of Mentors.

I established Career Redo to give you a quick and easy way to learn more about your desired new career.

JUST HOW TO FIND A MENTOR?

The short answer to that question is to spread your wings. By that, I mean that you should be out in your industry, environment, or scene meeting people.  You should try to find out who can answer your questions. Follow blogs, check out Twitter and other online tools are good approaches to take.

By asking questions, you will be led to those that know.  It could be in an online forum, or a industry conference or public gathering.  SCORE is a great place to start since it is a non-profit partner of the Small Business Administration. 

You may be interested in changing your career path.  If so, no one can provide more insight about career change training and ways you need to prepare than your own guide.

The real neat thing about good mentors is that they want to help you and your company.  Mentors truly see value of helping others. 

It could be that someone helped them out along the way and they want to return the favor.  Or it is possible that no one aided them in their success and now they want to ensure that others have an easier path.

The mentor relationship does not have to be too formal.  The best method is the one that works best for both individuals.  If trying to locate your mentor on you own, my advice is to take it slow.  Get to know them first and develop a relationship.
