I believe in mentoring. Having a mentor or coach is something almost anyone can benefit from. Of course, it's important to have the right mentor. The proper mentor is someone you respect, someone what has proven expertise in the arena in which you are striving to succeed. Having a mentor helps you to have clearly defined, achievable, measurable goals.
More important than anything else a mentor provides built in accountability. If you have to be accountable for taking steps to accomplish a goal you are much more likely to succeed. Human nature being what it is, it's much harder to face someone you respect and tell them you didn't get something done than it is to actually do it. Whatever "it" is.
If there is an area in your life that you are struggling with, or simply want to get "to the next level" consider getting a mentor. If you are enjoying the fruits of your labors, consider passing it on to someone up and coming. Mentoring, on both sides can be very rewarding.
