We do many things in life yet at some point of time we seem to have reached a place which we never ever dreamt about. Beautiful dreams of our life passed our minds towards the end of our college days and also at the time of our marriage. But what happened to all those images of a bright future.

Well you see, we are where we are in life today, simply because of the decisions that we took earlier in life. When life challenged you, you decided on a few things. When life looked up good on you, you decided on a few things. How quickly, correctly you judged the situation and decided and quickly and effetively you acted upon that decision ensured that you reached where you are in life now.

You also have a lot of knowledge on how the world works and you also know a lot about self development, yet that missing link is - well still missing!

Mentoring is all about having an extra sense and an extra mind. A mentor gives you clarity from the outside. It is all about learning how to achieve a set target by using a specific coordinates of commands. And then it is about learning to achieve more targest with the same specific coordinates of commands. Setting off a chain reaction. When that happens you have begun to succeed. You have begun to climb the ladder of life.

Mentoring is a process which is long and result oriented. It calls for a lot of changes in the disciplines we have in our life. Identifying the small stories that we tell ourselves all the time, not knowing that we are sabotaging our future by believing them.

Mentoring is looking far ahead. Setting goals in all the important areas of life and then working towards them with set principles, disciplines and determination.

Now why do we need a mentor?

First, a mentor can give us perspective. Often, in business and in relationships we are too close to see things objectively. We are caught up in the emotions of the situation—the fear, the excitement, the wonder, the anxiety, the confusion, the overwhelm.
A mentor is detached and can see things from a distance. Experience plus time equals wisdom. A mentor can give us the wisdom of a lifetime of experience.

Second, a mentor can give us proficiency. Ever so often it happens that we get into our business so deeply that we forget to equip ourselves with the latest that is happening in the market. What with research and development in all areas happening at a breakneck speed.
A mentor fills in the gaps of our temporary ignorance. In mastering any new task, an experienced mentor can simplify the process, guide us through the complicated parts, help us avoid the pitfalls, and warn us about the dangers. In short, a mentor helps us avoid the school of hard knocks—the most expensive kind of education in terms of time, money, and emotional pain. A mentor gives us a shortcut.

Third, a mentor gives us patience. In learning any new skill, there is a learning curve. A mentor can teach us patience as we struggle through failures to achieve mastery.
