Two Mistakes to Avoid when You Get Advice from a Mentor

What should you do when you actually get through to a potential mentor, and get advice? How can you turn one-time advice into long-term mentorship?

In this short video (about 3 min.), I talk about the two big mistakes people make when they get advice from a potential mentor, and what to do instead.

In summary (and for those of you who don't have three minutes to spare):

1. Always follow the advice of the mentor.

2. Always report back to your mentor, sharing what you did, and what were the results (even if it fails).
