Post Heroes and Mentors

“Mentor: Someone whose hindsight can become your foresight.”
-Anonymous

Finding out what we want to do with the rest of our lives is one of the most difficult (if not the most difficult) undertakings we will ever face in our pitiful existence. But once you actually find out what you really want to do with the rest of your life, the question will no longer be “What?” but rather “How?”

How do I get to do what I want to do with the rest of my life? And that is no small question. And I cannot personally answer that for you! That’s why you get a hero or a mentor. They will answer the “How To” questions that you so desperately need answered. They will guide you along the right path and help you succeed.

Now heroes won’t guide you and take you under their wing like a mentor will, but if you don’t have access to a mentor they do serve a very similar purpose and can help you a great deal. Heroes can be emulated and you can duplicate their success, regardless of seeing or speaking to them.

Michael Lee-Chin (Chinese-Jamaican-Canadian Mutual Fund Billionaire) is an excellent example who used his hero, Warren Buffett, as an inspiration to help him on his path to riches and success. Though Lee-Chin isn’t anything like Warren Buffett in personality, nor has he met him, he was able to emulate Buffett’s investment strategy and closely duplicate his success. By reading the books and biographies available on Buffett, Lee-Chin was able to mould himself into his hero in money – I mean many, many ways. And you can too!

If you can’t find a mentor (though this is preferred) find a hero. Find somebody you can look up to and would like to be like. Then go out there, emulate them and share in the same kind of success they did!
