There’s actually a lot of truth in this post.
1. Proper mentorship in any performance endeavor is probably the most important “hack” to speed run the learning curve.
Good mentors teach you how to think, how to improve, and give you a path for success. Good mentors save you years of time and effort wasted from going down an inefficient path.
2. It sounds insane, but I’ve truly come to believe that many people don’t want to be helped. I’ve now been training traders for over a decade. It used to be so hard for me to accept this and internalize it because it seems to illogical. As a result, I’d spend thousands of hours pushing a rock up a steep cliff that didn’t want to be pushed and then I’d feel like a failure when my trainees failed.
With perspective, you realize that many people aren’t trying to maximize their odds of success…. they’re trying to succeed their way, while maintaining their own ego, and when it doesn’t work they blame others.
It made me eventually accept that you can only help those that want to be helped and are willing to 100% fully buy-in and cooperate. Any mentee needs to be giving far more effort, care, and passion than the mentor.
3. Too many people want to take but give nothing in return. Any form of sustainable mentorship needs to be reciprocal. This might be reciprocal in that the mentee saves the mentor time, helps them other areas, pays them, or just simply provides them gratitude and fulfillment.
But without a fair exchange, it won’t work and it won’t last.
