The way to success is never easy. It takes a lot of hard work and determination in order to get to your goals whether it's for a successful career or a successful life in general. While the way to success entails a lot of work and will on your part, it doesn't hurt to ask for help. Could you use some guidance to lead you in making wiser choices? Definitely.
Getting a mentor to help you in your endeavors must be one of the most important things that you should consider if you really want to be successful. Most people ignore this fact because they trust themselves or they didn't want anyone to take credit for their success. Getting a mentor doesn't mean that you should follow whatever he or she says. Getting a mentor means that you can get advice on the skills that you have to improve on, the problems that you might encounter and some possible techniques to solve them. In the end, you must follow your own wisdom and trust your instincts about decisions that you must make.
Could you use some guidance from people who failed? You should remember that many have already gone the path that you are aiming for. They have seen the obstacles on the way and more or less, they have an idea on how to overcome them whether they have been successful or not. Many may have failed but these failures and mistakes are some of the things that you should know in order to prepare and avoid the same mistakes.
Getting some guidance doesn't only mean that you have to talk to certain people and ask advice from them – although that can be ideal. If you cannot find a person who can guide you and act as a mentor, you can always turn to research. Nowadays, there are many books written by successful people. These books give sound advice on topics about business, marketing, success and other possible topics that might be interested in. These books often contain true stories and anecdotes on situations and problems that they have encountered along the way. Together with the stories are the tips and advice that they have garnered thru the experience. However, you can also read through the stories and try to analyze the situation, the results and how they can be applied to your own situation. Again, nobody can really tell you exactly what to do.
Aside from books, there are also good research materials available on the Internet especially if your endeavor is about business online. Tips and advice about online businesses and social media may be found everywhere. Many offline businesses are now brought online for additional exposure. Personal blogs, portfolios and resumes are now creatively modified to be viewed online. If you have an endeavor that you might want to bring to online communities, it is wise to seek advice from online gurus on the Internet because offline and online marketing and sales approaches have their distinct differences.
