Successful entrepreneurs need a hell lot of skillsets.
The most talented are usually not business oriented and usually the business people lack talents.
The detail oriented people lack creativity, while usually the creative people lack focus and perfection.
Where are you on these 2 spectrums of these characteristics?
Or are you one of those who is across both the spectrums?
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 their articles rigourously and are actively shaping my thoughts:
Naval Ravikant - Philosophy, leverage (https://www.instagram.com/naval/?hl=en)
Dan Koe - Purpose, Self, The future skills, writing, creativity (https://www.instagram.com/thedankoe/?hl=en)
Hormozi - Productivity and leveling up (https://www.instagram.com/hormozi/?hl=en)
Vusi Thembekwayo - Entrepreneurship, Business marketing and sales (https://www.instagram.com/vusithembekwayo/?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)
Mark Manson - Insightful topics on self
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.
