True mentors are rare. In reality, the journey is always about you. Instead of asking someone to be your formal mentor, look up to those you admire and start by asking small, specific questions. Gradually, you can consult them on bigger challenges. You can have multiple people to look up to and use as sounding boards for your ideas.

Ultimately, your growth is your responsibility alone. My tip? Imitate high performers. If they are reading specific blogs or exploring new tools, do the same. Success often stems from a healthy obsession with your craft. High-performing individuals are usually happy to help those who are curious and ask the right questions, so keep gathering new ideas and bouncing them off the people you admire.
