Turning Over a New Leaf

[Colton Scott]

Hi All,

I recently was stuck in the "Rat Race" in Chicago and I quit my job, moved to Denver and looking for a fresh start both professionally and academically so to speak. I have a few ideas that I am eager to make projects of mine as part of my future goals and I could really use the help of a Mentor who is willing to deal with the hardships of working with a green horn. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome to BP, @Colton Scott! In my experience, the best way to get a mentor is by starting a project and then coming up with a specific set of questions/ideas that you can ask for help with. For example, you mentioned that you have a few ideas, you can start by putting together a plan and ask for help reviewing that plan. Or you can start executing it and asking for specific help/guidance with the first deal. This will show everyone that you mean business and you will be much more likely to find good mentors.

Good luck!
