7. Get a mentor
There are things you can discuss with a mentor you might not be comfortable approaching with a colleague or manager. If I want to stop wasting so much time on social media when I’m supposed to be prospecting, I might feel better bringing that challenge to my mentor rather than my boss.
Mentors generally have more experience, know you well, and can give you the unvarnished advice and feedback you need to succeed -- not only in your current job but in your career.
