The dilemma of trying to push someone up

Put effort to pull or push someone up in life

or

To leave people where they are.

The Dilemma occurs when you really want someone to succeed and want to push them to achieve things but they are not that serious about it and you are left wondering is it worth the time and effort to do this.

Finding Mentors

For a first generation entrepreneur, not being in the right circles, it is difficult to find mentors.

I have almost lost a decade without the mentors for which I regret.

But, the interesting part I have recently discovered and explored is that you can make certain popular people your mentors and follow their fantastic advice to advance in all aspects of life.

A few people I consider my mentors today and follow them rigourously:
Naval Ravikant - Philosophy, leverage (https://www.instagram.com/naval/?hl=en)

Hormozi - Productivity and leveling up (https://www.instagram.com/hormozi/?hl=en)

Dan Koe - The future skills, writing, creativity (https://www.instagram.com/thedankoe/?hl=en)

Benjamin Hardy - The future you (https://www.instagram.com/drbenjaminhardy/?hl=en)

Jesse Itzler - Living life to the fullest (https://www.instagram.com/jesseitzler/?hl=en)

Vusi Thembekwayo - Entrepreneurship, Business marketing and sales (https://www.instagram.com/vusithembekwayo/?hl=en)

A year ago, I considered the following as my mentors:

Patrick Bet David - Entrepreneurship, Strategy (https://www.instagram.com/patrickbetdavid/?hl=en)

Elon Musk - For his hard working ethics.

John Wick - for fire fighting insane number of problems as an entrepreneur.

As I now realise, the today's mentors I follow are more relevant to learn from and the previous mentors are more inspirational than anything particular to learn from.

Finding the right mentors and changing them as part of our evolution of changing needs is progress.
