"Don't Be Afraid To Be Amazing!" - Darren Hardy
Listening to motivational speeches and coaches not only boosts your energy and drive, but inspires us to make a difference in our lives. I highly recommend that anyone who wishes to improve on ANYTHING, to listen to those who have already been where you are now.
If you prefer to talk to people in person, you could also attend more networking events. Business leaders are always looking for new contacts, whether the reason is that they're after clients, employees or prospective partners for the future. At networking events, you'll be able to meet professionals in many different areas and expand your personal network, even if you don't find the right mentor on the first go. A great way to do this is to sign up for a BNI group.
One thing that I have learned, is that sometimes the best mentors come from the most unexpected places. Most of my best ideas come from learning the history of others who have tried my business and did not succeed. When you search for the reasons that others have failed, you can learn from their mistakes and find out what works. I have also learned how to improve from my own past failures. Failure can lead to your greatest success if you learn from it.
Helping others is another way to find people who will inspire you. Volunteer events are another good spot to meet like-minded professionals -- especially those who have retired wealthy and are looking for ways to give back. Find volunteering opportunities in your city that match your interests. Once you start attending on a consistent basis, you'll get to know the regulars and can branch out your contacts from there.
