b'This originally aired as a video on my YouTube channel which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/NXqsJMi_0FI\\nI\'ve often been asked: "Dominique, how do I find a mentor?"\\nIn this video, "how to find a mentor for your career", I\'ll be showing you the 3 steps (with one bonus) that will help reduce the difficulty in finding a mentor.\\nI\'ll answer questions like:\\nWhat should I look for in a mentor? \\n How to find a great mentor? \\n How do you approach a person for mentorship?\\nDO YOUR HOMEWORK. Before you approach a potential mentor, learn as much as you can about them. IN this age of information that should be easy. Spend some time on their social profile, reading their bio, etc. \\n MAKE A DIRECT ASK. What just noted was probably the most important takeaway...your ideal mentor has something you want. **Identify what that is, and ask directly for it.** \\n FOLLOW-UP. If you\'ve picked the right person that has things going for them, they are likely busy. So your first overture may go unanswered. This is all the more reason that your approach should be direct so that they can immediately know if they want to engage with you or not. If they have to figure out what you want, then you won\'t be getting a response. \\n BONUS - If you are so fortunate to secure their time, DO WHAT THEY ASK. There\'s not a lot of benefit in the mentorship if you won\'t be using the advice that is given.\\nThanks for listening.\\nFor more information on what I\'m doing for current and aspiring financial professionals, click here.\\nWant to connect with me?
