5 Questions You Should Never Ask Your Mentor

Ask a better question, live a better life. This is especially true with mentors. There’s also a series of questions you should never ask a mentor. That’s what I share in this video.

Dr.Chansekhar Pemmasani and Ravi Pemmasani are my mentors.

I'm just seeing this video!! Thanks. I'm trying to find a mentor. The mentor I had scammed me. Thanks for the info sir! 😃

I feel like most mentors don't even realize they are a mentor. Also alot don't realize they have one at the same time. There are many levels to this.

Idk if is just me , but most of the things I have been told by my parents about .. except that “how did you do that “ even if I often ask “how did you started “ is not a good question .. but I have seen it go misinterpreted or not exactly getting the reply I was expecting , so I just got it what was going wrong with it. Thank you :)

In the beginning of the video you stated not to ask someone blatantly to be your mentor, but during the video you didn't state what to ask instead nor why you shouldn't ask that question. I would appreciate it if you expounded on that.

Damn I messed up from the jump. But my actual mentor recommended this mentor, now I regret asking.

I want to honour my mentor... Wish I had known him better

A man named Pete picked me out of a sea of people and created a dialog. The same week I got a promotion at work. Just getting started in this chapter of my life so I understand I have a lot to learn, but It just trips me out how sometimes in life everything lines up perfectly. Even if it doesnt pan out, im honored. And for the first time in a long time, I am optimistic of the future.

Do you recommend paying a mentor?

Well I found out I messed up in the first few seconds of this video😐 Luckily it didn’t seem to effect my situation but I do think it wasn’t a good idea in hind sight, made my mentor think too much about how it could be a responsibility he wasn’t ready for even though he was already fulfilling the role in every way so he said no....but since he’s not stopped being a mentor I guess he just didn’t want the burden of a label🤷🏻‍♀️

I want to give a big appreciation to my father Hunter Chang, and my mentors Daniel Chou and Shelton Chan for spending time with me and giving me insights on life. Thank you for pushing me to become a better person.
I also want to thank my peak performance partners, Dustin Lin, Andrew Chuang, Janice Lo, and my friends such as Muriel Miao for pointing out my weaknesses and challenging me to improve.

Hi, looking for help, how would you do it today when you wanna involve your personal relationship to your mentor? Like sharing your personal life,values and etc.?

Bobby Severtson and Vector Marketing

HAHAHAH, I just asked an old business teacher of mine in a less direct way for guidance, advice or mentorship, and then 15 seconds in i realise ive made a mistake xDDDDD

can you be my mentor

Norm and Joe were two amazing mentors to me who shaped my life tremendously in business, finance, marriage, relationships, spirituality and leadership. One is a multi-millionaire and the other was a Captain in the Marine Corps. Much love and respect to them.

This is gold! :) my Subscribe button is gonna break soon from all the smashing! :D

Thank you for your video. They are very useful! I have a mentor from Switzerland named Fabi and Eni from Austrid and lot more mentors. They support me by giving me the direction of decision making :) Thank you so much!

Useful, sometimes it's hard to know what is appropriate

Thats's valuable thanks Dan. I am on my journey to be a mentee of Dan Lok. ❤

Well, that is what the 8(a) government contractor (minority business) Mentor - Protégé program NEVER shares! Your's was filmed in 2016 and it's now 2021 and we are all still watching!

Mentorship is very important

Valerie D'Vonn taught me enlightenment empowerment the meaning of evolving & encouragement. I am a magnificent divine creation of god now.. god bless

Hi Mr.Martell, I’m 18 years old and I have E-commerce business. I had a mentor which is retired right now and he was an executive in Sony Playstation with over 5billion dollars in sales. He has thought me a lot but he’s too much negativity about something that others have already done made me that he is not a good mentor and if I want to bring innovation to the market having a mentor like this is just a waste of time. Just would like to know your advice for situations like this. Thank you.

Good advises.Tx.

Someone believes to you when you don't even believe yourself. I wanted to achieve my every goals. And I'm happy when I ask for a mentor-mentee relationship(thats wrong question but) there is one who get interest and actually a retired CEO that very delightful for having him. That's why I came to this video because I don't want ti waste his time.

1. Never ask "How did you do that", ask "how would you start it today"?
2. Never ask for step by step road map.
3. Never ask for money
4. Never ask for a hand out
5. Never ask them to be a customer

My mentor is African American 😂 so I can be pretty blunt to him and not beat behind the Bush lol

Really interesting thoughts. With so many companies attempting to create mentorship relationships, seems like the best relationships are the ones you choose for yourself.

For number 2 what do you mean by big challenges?

Thanks for sharing Dan!! Keep up the good work!! Dan Lok and Peng Joon mentored me!

You mean you should not ask them to introduce you to someone or even vouch for you incase you want to expand to some other area they are not experts in?

GREAT video Dan!! So inspiring, and inspires me to do a video over business mentorship on my channel. Whats one thing your mentor told you that you still use in your daily work life?

How do I persuade him to became my mentor in the first place

I had no idea at the time, but my highschool literature teacher saw something that I hadn’t payed any attention to. And then at our graduation awards show I heard my name out of nowhere. He had prepared a speech, written it all down, describing how he saw me. And I was absolutely dumbfounded. The single most touching compliment I have ever received was by this teacher. I am honored to have met this person

I just lost my mentor. I feel shattered.

I had an amazing mentor for 12 years. I met her when I was 18 years old, lost and confused young girl. Unfortunately, my mentor was unable to stay and watch me graduate when I earned my Bachelors and master degrees. She took money from me a lot during the relationship and she often times would cut me out with no explanation. I would always come back, apologizing for something, I knew nothing about...it was weird. This time around, I landed a high end job with the police department as a social worker and I invited her out to celebrate my new position with some friends. It was my treat. I wanted to introduce her to my friends and honor her for helping me get to where I got in my career. She cursed me out via text telling me" I don't have to trolly behind you and your friends and advised me to leave her alone. This happened almost a year ago and I don't know what I did. I called, text... no response ever...anyhow, I still honor and love her. I don't believe i'd be where I am at today without her mentorship...she just never seemed to be able to stick around during my successes for some reason...she always thought I was "changing".

I No have mentor l Learing

what if i want to ask my mentor for scholarships? will that change our relationship?

Yes, asking your mentor to be your mentor is a bad idea. It shows that you're not paying attention.

Hi Dan,Recently I have one of my friend helping me in some problem. Actually I acted on his advice and thing become simple.I was in touch with him and made a good connect. Slowly we had trust and now I didn't know he is the mentor for me. His name is Vivek Singh. Please have a Mentor.
