The role model identity

Mentorship is limited to people you know and can influence directly. However, if you want to expand your reach and impact without working harder, you can take on a teacher's identity as a role model.

Modelling is a medium of instruction that is more scalable. People will look to you to understand what it means to live a fulfilling, inspired life. People will put you on a pedestal and treat your words like sacred doctrine. People will follow what you do more than what you say. Your network will be extensive and influential.

Advantages of being a mentor
