The best mentors listen before talking

[Donna Walker]

Yes, I once had one who always pushed his way of doing things. Didn’t work for me

A great mentor asks hard questions, not just offers comfort

[Christopher Green]

They should have done what you’re trying to do — experience matters

[Madison Davis]

Totally! Theory-only mentors are frustrating

[Madison Martinez]

Mutual respect is key. It’s a two-way relationship

[Kevin Robinson]

I found my mentor through a startup accelerator. Best decision ever

[William Williams]

Same here! I met mine in a networking event — completely changed my mindset

[Donna Hill]

Online mentorship programs are great too, especially for niche industries

[Thomas Young]

A good mentor doesn’t give you answers; they help you find your own

[Avery Roberts]

Exactly. They challenge your comfort zone

[Sophia Jones]

Mentorship is like coaching — accountability and perspective

[Kenneth Perez]

And empathy! The best mentors remember what starting out feels like

[Donna Walker]

I think chemistry matters too. You have to genuinely respect them
