New take on Mentor (s)

I work at a shipping center with PO boxes during the evening. I have realized lots of business owners and entrepreneurs have PO boxes. As I am fretting for not only a mentor in insurances but also in real estate. I realize something while making small talk with all of the box holders. One is a retired insurance agent, three are real estate agents, one is a property management company owner...who explained after her work she just cuts landlords a check of profit y no mas from the land owner. One is a home inspector and landlord. Another is the owner of a real estate financing company, and there are five or six landlords, a renovations company and last but not least...about three HOA groups. So no... I do not have one set mentor to teach me everything I need to know. I have a jigsaw puzzle patch work of about 25 mentors. All bringing something different and unique to the table. I exchange good packing and shipping for their priceless knowledge. Good customer service like walking boxes to their cars, handing them their mail. calling when checks come in. They talk about it all. From success to mistakes to things that were down right funny. They love to talk about it and I love to listen. They are my mentor crew.

 yes of course. They are very open and informative. They will all come in handy at some point I am sure.  I am currently learning all I can from the lender. He has been doing his niche well and for a very long time. I feel as though lots of people could have mentors in this fashion.
