Hi, this is Mike Pettigrew - serial entrepreneur and Amazon best selling author and I've a question for you. What's the fastest way to achieve anything? What is the absolutely fastest way to achieve any goal? Well, the answer is mentors - mentors. Normally in life we do things through trial and error and hope they're going to work out - or we do the same thing again and again, hoping for different results. And according to Albert Einstein, that's the definition of insanity! But there's a better way - no matter what it is that you want to achieve in life, whether you've got a big goal or small or medium size, the quickest way to achieve it is to seek out someone who has already achieved it, learn from them, and then put into practice what you've learned. Honestly, that's the biggest secret - the greatest secrets of the world's most successful people. The highest achievers, high performers, they take on mentors, and I didn't get this for years.

I didn't understand this really until about 15 years ago when I discovered the importance of mentors. I've achieved four times more in the past 10 years than I had through the earlier part of my life and I've achieved some very big goals before discovering this principle about mentors, but I'm so grateful I did. I realised that I could have achieved...I sold my first company to a multinational in 2001, and never had mentors before - not really, and I realised that I could have grown that company four times bigger and so much more quickly and I taken on mentors. But I did everything through trial and error and I'm afraid that that's what most people do. That's such a big waste of time because you know what? You don't have enough time. You don't have enough hours in the day to learn everything yourself. You don't have enough years in your life to learn everything yourself.

You don't. But when you seek out mentors - people who have done it before - you shortcut your learning curve dramatically. It empowers you to achieve your goals far more quickly. So if you haven't already got a mentor to help you achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve, seek out someone who's done it before. Go to Amazon- look at different books on the subject - find the best authors with the best five star reviews. Learn from them and you can dramatically speed up the achievement of whatever it is that you want.
