1. There are more than many ways to convey that you have the quality needed for a position you desire. The U.S presidents often have a proven record of leadership through business, defense jobs etc.

2. Pick your mentors out from anywhere. Use books and other forms of media.

3. The only important thing that matters for success is feedback of the party that is going to be end consumer of whatever it is that you bring to table. Feedback is paramount. Find ways to get it.

4. Two ways to rapidify your learning curve- learn from experts and everyone else's failure.
