When we choose we have to acknowledge where our needs are (as in what we perceive as weaknesses or areas of growth.) Sometimes the wrong mentor is a necessary lesson we need to learn for our growth.

The next step is this: Choose very carefully whom you ask to be your mentor and be specific about what it is you would like that person to work on with you. Mentoring another is an awesome responsibility. For busy and accomplished people it often looms like something they do not have time to add to what is already on their plate. A specific request with a beginning and ending date make it much easier for a person to accept your request. Jared,
