Since mentoring and coaching are not ingrained in our culture, we can take one of two paths. The first is trial and error. We can learn as we go, building a base of experience needed to be successful in our own right. Many people take this path and get there but the majority of folks on this path never achieve their dreams. The second "smarter" path is to find somebody who has been there before and ask them for guidance. We need to be taught how to be successful in the modern world, by people who are successful themselves. This is where mentoring and coaching comes into play.
