It depends on what you&#x27;re looking for. Do your homework. They&#x27;re kind of like investors. Get an intro if possible. Cold emailing someone to say, &quot;Hey, I&#x27;d like you to be my mentor&quot; may not be the best approach.<p>Have a game plan.<p>Make sure you&#x27;re clear about what you&#x27;re looking for and what you&#x27;d like help with. The reason these people are successful is because they don&#x27;t waste their time on stuff.<p>Don&#x27;t expect it to be a one way street. Offer something in return even if it&#x27;s just time.<p>Listen more than you talk.<p>That&#x27;s about it. Good luck!
