I think a lot of the points above are very solid. I do know some mentors do not work with you, if you do have other mentors so that is something to ask about if you choose to have more than one. Another really important factor is making sure the person you are working with isn't just mentoring for money, but actually believes in you and honestly wants to help you succeed. The best online mentoring site I have come across (for personal and group coaching, and budget friendly is www.ftrnation.com). The testimonials are outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with them myself! Great insights, loved your thoughts on mentoring.

your analyses are quite appealling and intriguing but when you are confused about the situation of things in your life and you the mentor to choose at that moment what kind of mentor do you ascribe for sure a fellow? most imperatively when you dont have anybody in mind as a mentor.

Karen offers sound advice in this article.

I have worked with mentors in the past.

I find people that I respect, and I make sure they understand that I value their help. I give back as much as I can, so that we can maintain the foundation of a growing relationship based on trust and honesty.

If you keep a positive mindset, you can work more productively with your mentor. You can consider learning from Brian Tracy, if you are ready to improve your mindset.

i've had many 'mentor's, most of them probably did not even know at the time that they were. other people knew but not the actual mentor. a mentor is a person whom someone else is trying to emulate. if that person knows they are mentors it would take away the effectiveness of what i am trying to achieve.

i have told some of these mentors after awhile "you are my mentor". all have been complimented by that fact. and i firmly believe it's sort of easier that way than to come out and ask the person 'would you be my mentor?' it would tend to make cause them not to be natural, which would destroy the reason/s i want them for my mentor.

a mentor is therefore a teacher. children do this every day just by being themselves. we can learn alot from kids...good things. i've seen kids from foriegn countries whom could not speak a single word of English learn just by playing with other kids their own age and in a few weeks be able to read, speak, and understand English. even without a formal 'teacher'.

since 1972 i have been a Flight Instructor and have several thousand hours flying small airplanes and helping other people learn to have fun the same way. only one of my students has actually told me that "you have been my mentor". it is the best complement i have ever received.

I saw a column where folks were discussing getting mentoring help and the person who would be considered mentor materiel responded to?

Mentors are very important for career development, and the tips you give to find a good mentor are wonderful.

I wonder -- does it always have to be a formal "Will you be my mentor?" kind of set-up? I've had many mentors during my career, and the majority of them have been structured more informally. A lot of the same give-and-take as you mention here, but no actual asking. In some ways, it ended up better because there was not as much dependence on the individuals.
