As mentioned last time, mentors are an essential component of long term personal growth.
I would argue that most of us need mentors in one or more area of our lives all the time. But, how do you know when and where you need a mentor?
You need a mentor when you are plateaued or puzzled in a key area of life.
It may be a personal area of life, or it may lean more towards the vocational or professional side of things, but when you notice a plateau- a sustained lack of growth- or an increasing number of unanswered questions, that is a clue that you need a mentor in that area.
