A life mentor is someone who can guide you. If you are stumped, you may ask what would the mentor do under these circumstances. A mentor often has a limited status. For example, if you're an athlete, you will take athlete mentors seriously when they criticize you and when they tell you how to be successful. You won't get hurt feelings. When they praise you, that's great.

The concept of a life mentor

An anti-mentor is someone you've noticed playing a radically different game to yours.  For example, the social status game: People live to create a particular social impression. They buy a car, they dress, buy a house. But it's not the game you may be playing. So when they then look down on you, you think that's a good sign because you're playing a different game. If they criticise you, you will feel good because you are not playing their game. You are playing a different game with different rules.

The anti-mentor

An anti-mentor is someone who, when they look down on you or disagree with you, you know you're doing something right.

In this video, William Irvine explains the benefits of having an anti-mentor: someone who, when they look down on you or disagree with you, you know you're doing something right. If they are agreeing with you, you might want to reassess your value's and decisions. If you're struggling with this concept, take a look at the thumbnail. If Batman is my mentor, when I'm saving people then he approves. On the flip side, if the Joker is trying to get rid of me, I know I'm doing it right. If the Joker were to agree with what I was doing, I might not be saving people how I should be. (This is just an example.)

Stashed ideas

Why You Should Have An Anti-Mentor

Did you know that many of the world’s most famous entrepreneurs have mentors? They understand that success is not a one-person show and that mentors can help keep their businesses innovative and relevant.
According to Richard Branson, a large reason entrepreneurs don’t get mentors is because they feel it is a sign of weakness, but this is a big misconception. Entrepreneurs with mentors show that they are willing to learn, open to different perspectives and adaptable to change.

The Billionaires And Their Mentors

A small amount of time invested on your part to share your expertise can open up a new world for someone else.

Zuckerberg talked about his inspiring mentor Steve Jobs. “He was amazing,” said Zuckerberg. “I had a lot of questions for him.” He described how Jobs gave him advice about how he could build a team that was as focused as Zuckerberg on building “high quality and good things”. They also both believed that their life paths were meant for more than just building businesses. They wanted to change the lives of people. Zuckerberg wrote in a final farewell Facebook post to Jobs: “Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world.”

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

Bill Gates credited Warren Buffet for teaching him how to deal with tough situations and how to think long-term. Gates also greatly admires Buffet’s “desire to teach things that are complex and put them in a simple form, so that people can understand and get the benefit of all his experience.” Buffet is empowered by Gates too. “What I really most admire about Bill is the view he has about what he should do with the wealth he’s accumulated…he knows he’s a beneficiary of a terrific society.”

If you ask any successful businessperson, they will always (say they) have had a great mentor at some point along the road.

Richard Branson understands the importance of mentorship. Branson asked British airline entrepreneur, Sir Freddie Laker, for guidance during his struggle to get Virgin Atlantic off the ground.Branson believes the first step to finding a great mentor is <a href="http://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/the-importance-of-having-a-mentor-in-business">admitting you can benefit from a mentor</a>: “Understandably there’s a lot of ego, nervous energy and parental pride involved, especially with one- or two-person start-ups…Going it alone is an admirable, but foolhardy and highly flawed approach to taking on the world.”

Sir Freddy Laker: Mentor Of Richard Branson

If you have an experienced mentor it can be life changing and extremely valuable to your personal development and your business. 
Whether your relationship is just for one year, or ongoing throughout your business journey, mentorship can empower you and drastically increase the chance of your business succeeding.
