🛠️ Tactic #1
In the below video, Robert Greene talks about what he believes leads to one’s greatest chances at success in life. In it, he talks about mentors and how they help one find success.
🦉 Wisdom #2
“To learn by example is to submit to authority. You follow your master because you trust his manner of doing things even when you cannot analyze and account in detail for its effectiveness. By watching the master and emulating his efforts... the apprentice unconsciously picks up the rules of the art, including those which are not explicitly known to the master himself.”
Michael Polanyi

Like Simon Sinek above, Ferriss also looks at it from a perspective of friendship.
In the clip, Ferriss also talks about how he uses his mentors as role models in situations and thinks ‘how would this person act (or react) in a situation like this?’
🛠️ Tactic #3
Alex Hormozi breaks down what he looks for when he looks for a partner or mentor.
🏋🏻 Exercise
In this clip, Steve Harvey discusses a key to finding a mentor. It’s not about asking someone to fish for you, it’s about asking someone to teach you how to fish. If you can do this, the world will open with people willing to help.
Until next time,
