I’m in a mentorship program now. I was told that i just need to work on my confidence.
I watched this video on my lunch break and immediately returned to work and asked the Vice President to mentor me. He accepted my request and shared on a personal note mentoring is one of the things he enjoys most personally about his job/position with the company. Thank you for extending an exemplary guideline for seeking out the best mentors for oneself. You and your video gave me the confidence to finally take action after nearly 3 years of contemplation.
You've been one of my mentors for two years now, Marie, both in my personal life and career. Thanks for sharing your light and wisdom to all of us. :)
Omg!!!! I had already begun doing #1 & #2... I even assigned each one of my "mentors" a day of the week to learn from. So like, Oh Monday's for Oprah and Forleo Fridays! And now I'm doing #5!!! As always Marie, you are a true wordsmith/undiscovered rap star and you are always insightful and inspiring!
Great advice, great dress. Thanks, Marie!
Love this! I've been thinking about finding a mentor for myself for a while now. Thank you Marie for broadening my view on mentorship! btw your hair is GORGEOUS! Love from Sweden🌷
I LOVE the idea of mentorship. My first mentrix ever - Colette Garside - read my Aura-Soma level 4 diploma thesis. She was so great! She encouraged me in oh so many ways. I discovered that - if I looked at myself through HER eyes - I was finally able to look at me without judging and I started to love what I saw.
Now (17 years later) I am a mentor for many years and I truly love it.
YES! And there is a flipside advantage too: it blows your mind if you see how much a mentor can learn from his/her students.
New input, new wisdom, new courage guaranteed.
And yes - nowadays I have wonderful mentors all around the world without having to travel ONE kilometer ;-)
Even Stronger: When I do my exercises in the morning, I watch the brightest mentors on the row at Evan Carmichael's UA-cam top 10 and all of Marie's video's too.
The best is always in the end when Marie says: ...'because the world needs that special gift that only you have' 👍
Seriously Marie!
That was amazing advice. But like you said, the most difficult part of finding a mentor is just finding someone with the knowledge and experience you seek who isn't already busy doing their own contributions to the world. I suppose what holds back some people is either finding a mentor who is willing to hold your hand or one who will give you a kick in the butt to get moving.
Yes, yes, yes! Love this. There are so many mentors all around us every day. What great, specific advice! Love your videos, Marie :)
Thanks Marie, I was so obsessed with the idea of finding a mentor thinking it would set me up for life but your video opened my eyes to that fact that this idea of finding one physical mentor was holding me back as it became an excuse to do nothing. I now know that I should consider finding inspiration and learning from people I don't even know personally. I also realised that you're right, it's not really healthy to just be listening to just one person, it's better to listen to at least a few more, try it out and see what works for you. Thanks again Marie, your videos are really good as they enable me to listen because they are just the right length of time, it is lively and it's obviously been made with sincere effort. Best Regards.
You Tube is the best place for finding online inspiration/mentors. This channel is a great example. Thank you, Marie. xxx
It's so true! Thousands of hours of free learning
Dude! Hair goals!
Right??!!
your genuineness is truly infective!!!
Best video I've seen on your channel so far. Couldn't have been explained better and precise. I agree 100%
Thanks Marie! I'm lucky to consider you one of my mentors I've never met in person...your youtube vids and Copy Cure course have helped me achieve so much in the last year. Thanks for all you do!
"Polymentory." I love it.
Marie- I've been a silent fan for a couple of years now, and this episode inspired me to thank you!! I've been wondering this exact question, and your answers brought me relief; I already saw my favorite thought leaders, like you and Brendon Burchard, as mentors, but I was concerned I was majorly missing out by not having an official in-person guru. This episode freed me to embrace my own style as an online student of life and business!
In many ways, you are my mentor Marie. This video really touched me and the question is so relevant. Your work really inspires me. Marie Q & A Tuesday's and podcasts you've interviewed for have been the knowledge and fuel I need to shoot for the stars! You're amazing. Thank you for simply being you.
You are my mentor too! and best part is you bring so many amazing people to your station that help me find even more mentors.. i've thanked you so many time in my night time gratitude journal! :) Thanks again Marie..!
I have found that Facebook Groups within my niche are a good way of connecting with mentors. Completely agree, and I learned a couple of new things here too. Great video Marie! Thumbs up! 👍
Great timing, Marie. I am writing a blog post about it at the moment, where I mentioned you and then this comes up :)
I was burning for hearing the answer to this question. Marie, she's such an inspiration to me + her whole business and I was struggling in finding and asking for mentorship. That's true that if you follow and truly care about the content of your inspirational leader in your world, you'll learn a lot because they already work a lot to put what they know noticed.
The only downside of not having a mentor is that you cannot learn exactly about your situation. I feel like if you find someone that truly connects with what you want to do, you want to learn the most on how they managed their life up to now (including the struggles they had to get where they are today and you compare it with yours). Having specific information directed to you VS general concepts is different. Since in most cases we get general topics, you're still not getting the content you'd like (unless it's a true guidance A-Z, often shown as a coaching program, and it's RARE to get excellent teaching). The main point in having information out there, it isn't always enough to get through what you want. Mentorship at least gives you correction on what was wrong and you can have a direct link with your questions, and help you wonder about things you didn't thought before, helping you grow instantly (and mostly, it helps you get a direct human interaction).
Just wanted to share this thought, having a mentor is crucial to grow faster. As an example, I would love to ask Marie for mentorship because I have specific but really personal questions about the building-up process side of the business. I would love to get her honest insight, an interview with her or something, that's not what you can get anywhere else, and that's the principal reason having a mentor is essential. :)
This video is so timely! I've been trying to find someone to get advice from for the past month to no avail. I will try to use these tips. Hopefully it works!
OMG thanks Marie I was actually going to ask this question. I'll watch as soon as I finish my post-workout stretch/massage.
This is one of your best pieces of advice. Thank you so much for your work! I particularly enjoy what you say about using all resources at your disposal, and looking to the sides too.
Marie, you are my mentor and I am following your videos religiously! Thank you for everything 🤗
Thank you for all your advice perfect timing was looking for mentor and didn't realize there are other people around me that I could talk to I always thought they were above me much appreciated
OMG!!! Marie today I watched your first video and I am amazed and excited that finally I have met a person who will answer my thoughts as a Businessman. I would like to compliment your looks, style, way of communication. Sometimes I miss the words while watching you and then I have to click some seconds back and watch it again LOL..
I have subscribed to your channel and will be watching your videos. Thanks for enlightening us. Love you Marie. Your new FAN Aditya.
You're awesome, Marie. Thank you!!!
I LOOOVE this video 👌 The advice you're giving are so liberating and empowering 😄 Thank You, Marie, for staying on your game 👍
I am so grateful to have found your site, and all of the information you provide. You make it fun and easy to understand!
Love it!!!!! Right on time!! 🙌🏽
I enjoy being a mentor but no one knows I exist...and those that know me don't usually reach out to me...I have many people I look up to so many mentors...including you now...thanks to my school for having me watch your video....don't put all your eggs in one basket (all your hope into one mentor) It's a huge responsibility for just one human. Though humans make mistakes and that's how humans learn best...being let down by someone because of their mistakes is one thing but voicing the situation in a negative light helps no one find a solution to fix the mistake and sometimes it takes multiple mistakes before a proper resolution is found, so be patient. while one way of doing things works for some but sometimes its a jagged puzzle piece trying to fit in a rounded piece puzzle, don't get discouraged, there is one way for you, you just got to hang in there and keep trying...there is no such thing as one way to do things
what space do you mentor people?
Great video as always! I've been blessed to have many mentors in my life and to pay it forward to many now. The best advice as a mentee is to find many mentors, as you mentioned, because it's not fair to expect perfection from one person. You'll be more well-rounded by surrounding yourself with many great people. The best advice for mentors is to take your time and learn about the mentee. Understanding the psychology of the mentee will help you so much down the road. The relationship shouldn't be a parent-child one, give your mentee much credit for their eagerness and believe it or not, you'll learn a lot from them as well.
I really admire you Marie.... thanks so much for this great advice. love u
Absolutely spot on. I want one and one day i will be one. I know the one way to not get a mentor is to not try.
I found being a fan and showing respect for one's wisdom to be very effective. People love to feel appreciated.
You're right. I am glad you are pointing out that people put a lot of effort of info that is already out there.
Wow, thank you for this, so on time.
A you're one my mentors & I'm glad you're mentoring me right now!
Marie always looking extra flawless. This video came just in time, thank you :)
haha yes i couldn't help but notice it in the whole video
Great video! On point and On time
So true!
Winner of a video, I have been researching "how to communicate with your spiritual guides" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Banulian Lonameron Breakthrough - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
Thank you. Your tips about mentoring is an eye-opener. I am assured I am on the right track--reading and listening to great minds. Now you are added to the list.
This was excellent information Marie, Thanks! I agree! Luv U! xo
Love your actionable advices , so glad to have stumble on this channel unexpectedly, and SUBSCRIBE! 😊🥰 Buying your book to check out, thank you Marie for answering great business questions.☺️
this is a wonderful point. Its true that we can get advice from many people online and in books. Especially books and podcast. Sometimes we also learn more from the people "below us". Some people have a complete different pespective that open your eyes to what you coundnt see
Ooooh be specific, not vague. Great advice:)
Love your videos. Perfect blend of advice with humour. 💗
Love it Marie.
surprisingly the last woman I loved was a great mentor I had in my life. your right about that anyone can mentor. we just have to pay attention.
Great info, this made me realize I'm actually being mentored when I didn't recognize it.
Great Video.... put into to words how I always felt mentorship was something you don't necessarily ask for.. you just seek and or recognizes when it finds you and nowadays thru videos pods books etc the learning and inspiring will fall into place without needing to ask :) I have had a bunch of mentors, You, Marie being the current and most favorite one, and all of them have not even met or know me and how much of an impact they have. Kudos for making me feel like I have a superhero cape!
These were great tips. This has been the way I've learned and grown but in the back of my mind always thought I needed that "one" mentor but this let me know I'm on the right track.
Hi!! Simply fantastic video! I've been looking for a mentor but choosing only one was driving me nuts. I really agree that listening and reading many mentors is the best way to improve myself and my work. Thank you for reminding me of this! Tons of success! (between us,Marie, you are one of my mentors :)). Greetings form Portugal, with gratitude!
Totally agree! I've never thought of having a mentor, it seemed restrictive but I am often influenced, guided, helped, inspired, motivated and so much more but various individuals I come across in life. I talk with them, share ideas with them, read about them, learn about their lives, watch documentaries, look at their work or simply live with them in the case of family and friends. Having a single mentor to me feels like it would create a 'follower' rather than a 'leader'. Be inspired and motivated by others but forge your own path! Great video :) P.S Love your dress!
Always the best advice. Thank you.
I think about the importance of mentorship all the time, and this advice on how to find a mentor is so actionable--thanks for this video, Marie! I'm excited to share it. I often hear prospective mentees, like Kat, feeling shy ("would they even have time for me?") On the flip side, once I even heard a prominent author say he didn't believe in mentorship because it was "pro bono life coaching" --fortunately I have not found a lot of people who think that way. But in either case, the point that's missing is this: Mentorship is a two-way street! Mentors gain a lot of insight, and even confidence, from helping a mentee...it helps them realize their strengths and reflect on how much they've learned. So don't feel shy about asking for mentorship. Done right, it's mutually beneficial. Marie is totally right on the importance of being specific. It's also so important to bring things full circle and let your mentors know the outcomes of your challenges. Finally, Marie, you are the ultimate example of mentoring people you've never met--and we all admire you for that, especially at She's the First!
Thank you Marie, this video is just so in time and those tips are really helpful! By the way, I really love your hair, haha
Great advice! Thanks
Its so inspiring to find a woman like Marie Forleo who is first and foremost a hilarious personality but she's also wise and fascinating to listen to. I have only just met her through the Jon & Missy Butchers Life Book Library but thank you so much for sharing this take on Mentorship. I totally agree with everything you are saying. I also don't believe that One Mentor can give you everything. I first discovered Mentorship 3 years ago with a man called Kane Minkus who gives Entrepreneurs many insightful tools to run their Business more successfully. He introduced me to Vishen Lakhiani from MindValley who came to Singapore which led me to discover Jon & Missy Butcher (LifeBook), Lisa Nichols (Speak & Inspire) and many others. All of these people have changed my life in different ways. I am also reaching out to my community in Singapore through a Womens network called Prime Time KeyNote speakers where I am learning & Practicing the Art of Speaking Publicly. Its very true that reaching out to your local community and finding those around you that you can learn from is also very powerful. Just started my own Mastermind group with 3 female entrepreneurs so my path is filled with Wisdom, Learning & Inspiration. I encourage anyone out there to do the same and follow the wise words that Marie outlines above. I am Kim Maxwell from www.thisis-yourstory.com
Excellent presentation, short and sweet
Excellent. Non agenda filled heart. Awesome. Thankyou.

That was really helpful, I´ll try to put some of the tips into practice and see how it goes!!! Thank you for sharing all your insight

I loved your advices, Marie! Thank you for inspiring my journey! :)
Taking all this in. Thanks.
A lot to think about...As always Marie!
Great tips. Thanks.
Thanks Marie, great advice. I'm lucky to have you as my mentor
This is the first video I've ever viewed of yours. Your work is amazing, I wish I would've found this earlier.
Great point of view. Modern day mentoring doesn't have to be one-one anymore.
Amazing advice!
Hahahaha literally dying and getting value at the same time!! love it! Love your massive value mixed with hilarious content. Love it @Marie Forleo and what a great vid so agree 100% ! Thanks for mentoring through your content!
This episode is like one thought that has been going around in my mind for a while every time I see you post a new video.... GET A NOTEBOOK to take notes! Your mentorship is very valuable! ;)
Awesome 👏🏾,
Thank you 😊
Super informative. Thank you
Great points, thank you. At last I am closing the chapter of seeking one perfect mentor...major lol. However looking back, my mentors usually came at the right time, being open to it and I enjoyed how everything just worked out anyway.
Good to know I'm on the right track!
Awesome advice! Thanks Marie :)
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND MESSAGE!!!!!! I do this already and agree with you whole heartedly!!!
I'm a mentor to hundreds over my 17 year career as a makeup artist. I totally agree--be engaged with the person you want to mentor. If you don't it feels very disingenuous--and just a, give-me-all-your-information- so-I-can-suck-the-life-out-of-you, kind of situation--lol. I wrote a book (very successful) , I Periscope, I blog and now I'm on UA-cam teaching my fellow fab makeup artists all about the business of--well, being a makeup artists. This girl is tired at the end of the day, and I still help out my people. BUT I will not go the extra mile any longer for the needy and the greedy. Thanks Marie you're the best!
#6! SO. TRUE.
This came just in time!
Muchas Gracias Marie, thanks a lot, as always you give me all I need...To be focus in my life mision, even if I need time... just keep going. A lot of visions in my professional and personal life change since I´ve see you ,by sorprise, in my screen computer more than 2 year ago already .
