I see a lot of time people mistake mentors for free consultants. I can't tell you how grateful I am for every second I get to spend getting advice from my mentors. I owe so much to my mentors and will never forget everything they've done for me. I think the point about not becoming too reliant on mentors is a big one too. Especially today when we have access to so many more people, and can develop a great deal of mentorships, it can be easy to become reliant on that support system. It's okay, and great to turn to mentors for help, but don't be afraid to blaze a few trails yourself. Very well said Carlos. I see a lot of time people mistake mentors for free consultants.

I like that - there is a thin line between being guided and total reliance. The ability to trust yourself is key is a mentorship because you don't want to be a copy of your mentor but rather someone who embodies the bits that fit best but still remains true to oneself.. “Being mentor-addicted is even worse than being mentor-less.”

Maybe it's a personal thing, but I like to focus and explore my strengths on my own. I think you learn more that way, and a mentor may even know less than you do. Also, it's hard to find a good mentor when you are really good at something. You make a good point. Maybe it’s a personal thing, but I like to focus and explore my strengths on my own.
