Find A Mentor<br />

A few years ago we wrote about the importance of a mentor in a man’s life.<br />

Figuring out what it means to be a man can be tough. And it’s arguably<br />

tougher for men today, who are often more socially isolated, don’t have as<br />

from a mentor. And it doesn’t have to be a specific area of your life like<br />

career or church. Perhaps you’re just looking for a mentor to help you<br />

be an all around better man. That’s fine.<br />

2. Draw up a list of three men that you’d like to mentor you. Think of<br />

all the men you know that might be able to help you in the area that<br />

you’re looking for some mentoring in. Guys that you’ve always looked
