  1. Having a mentor makes you focus on your goals, and how to achieve them. For those who will not get a mentor through this program, should try to get one anyway. There are lots of skilled, brilliant and experiences people who are more than willing to pay their knowledge forward.

    As the founder of Mentory (http://mentory.com) a global mentorship community. My goal is making it possible for everyone to experience the gift of giving as a mentor and learning as a protégé.
    We all have mentors in different areas of life, some even unconsciously. Either way - they illuminate the road to our dreams.
