This is my recommendation about how to find a mentor – the right way. This is the way that will give you the highest chance of actually finding a mentor. Snap/Insta: GPStephan

Because click bait sucks, here’s what NOT to do:
1. Don’t just ask “Will you be my mentor” or “Will you mentor me?”
2. Don’t approach it having done no research about what you want to do
3. Don’t ask vague questions
What you SHOULD do:
1. Already be doing and learning what you want to do and achieve – ON YOUR OWN
2. Do NOT let NOT having a mentor stop you from doing this
3. Be specific and have a basic background about what you want to do
4. Be open to ask for help, but if this is something you can learn from a 10 second google search…that’s bad
5. OPINIONS and EXPERIENCE are a mentor’s strong point, not necessarily factual knowledge
6. Offer something in return – doesn’t need to be monetary. Your time, your enthusiasm, your help..whatever you can give.
I’ve never asked anybody I consider a mentor, “Will you mentor me?” It’s something that happened naturally over time. Asking “Will you mentor me? is a yes or no question and IF it’s a yes, it’s a HUGE obligation for that person. Very doubtful they’ll just say “yes” right off the bat.
I’ve never approached anyone specifically – even with my mentors in real estate, it all happened organically. I hope the same comes to all of you watching.
There are also a multitude of forums, websites, and videos for you to learn from on your own. Chances are if you’re interested in something, so are a million other people – use the internet to reach out and learn from as many people as you can and do what you want to do – mentor or no mentor.
A mentor can be a great source of encouragement, knowledge, and wisdom. However, do what you want, regardless if you have someone coaching you or not, and eventually the right people tend to come along once they see how dedicated you are to whatever you do. Thank you for watching!

Great stuff as always bro! :))
Awesome video!
I like your positive vibe Graham. 🙂
Love watching your videos man thanks for the consistently real and awesome content, but one question for you: where did you get that dope ass jacket?
Do you have a Snapchat?
+Gabe Yumum GPStephan 🙂
I am in process of getting a salesperson’s license, really enjoy watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
+Mina Parr Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
when you start doing what you want to do, you will be in the environment of others doing what you want to do, and thats how you naturally meet people (mentors) that can help you. i want to flip and sell houses, so i started off with a guy at 12$ /hr (quit my 33/hr job) so i could get the experience and sure enough i made so many connections met so many trades guys within only 4 months time. home renovation school wanted 8 grand of my money for a 4-6month program, where I would have not been physically on site in real environments so i saved 8 grand, made 12 by the hour while i learned, got real life experience and met a few solid characters.. its all about putting yourself in the environment, and eventually you become it. big believer in the saying, “you are who you spend most of your time with”..
Thanks for information, new to the Real Estate world and every bit of info Helps
your a real dude man,love how you did this..I think I have a potential seller out there and I really don’t know much about what I’m doing but I’m just going to go for it.if I mess up oh well,I’ll just learn from my mistakes and try again
+Muriel Johnson Just go for it!
This is great. Keep it up.
Thank you for watching!
Found your channel today, and I love your message and style of videos. Great info!
+diego895 Thank you so much! So glad you enjoy it!
but….. wait…… aren’t you already mentoring us by posting videos on how to do what you do? a mentor doesn’t have to be one on one, heck they don’t even have to know your name. one of my biggest mentors is Tony Robins, and he doesn’t even know I exist.
I wish I could talk like you. Confident, knowledgeable, and no bullshit
+Divine Grace Rafanan Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoy it!
Graham what you think about duplexes in San bernardino?
I actually like San Bernardino (some areas) and duplexes. If you give me the address I’ll give you my honest thoughts of it – don’t worry about me trying to steal it or anything, I don’t work that area and I’m not looking to buy anything over there for myself.
Need you’re investor advice
I just bought 2 books about real estate investing. I am atm 17 years. When i am done with reading those books i am getting in action.
+Yozgat 66 That’s awesome dude, which books did you get?
GrahamStephan How to Be a Real Estate Investor – Phil Pustejovsky. Real estate investing for dummies eric tyson
Can’t believe this guy gets thumbs down on this video. Keep doing your thing, Graham. I’ve been following for a couple weeks now.
this is amazing advice thank you so much! still doing all my research as I get my license
bro, i have a little problem… you said “go get your license (in real estate)” , i looked for courses to get that, and it requires medium studies (highschool finished) … the problem here is that i have 1 more year to finish the highschool, what do you suggest? i asked someone and he told me to go to a real estate agency here in my city, and tell the workers there i want to learn more about real estate and i want to help them too, what do you think? thanks
You may be able to start your classes now, but wait to take the state test until you turn 18 and graduate – see if that’s an option. Otherwise I agree with what the other person told you, if you can work part time as an assistant, it would greatly reduce your learning curve!
i’m 18, my mom gave me to school kinda late and that’s why :d anyway, i’m going today, curious to see what will happen haha 😀 thanks a lot
Where do I get the jacket ?
+Saurabh Thakur Zara 👍🏼
This is one of the best videos for entrepreneurs on Youtube.
Put your “Money” FIRST Mister. Now it is time for iShares (TLT). My Government backed portfolio of +20 year T-Bonds are all I have left after paying off the American’s $2.1T debt. That and Coinbase®’s IRS audit. Be good; say hi to G”Money” for me. Chat w/you soon.

Good way find mentor that I do, is go on Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, Zillow and text random agents and ask them questions
Great point of view Graham. I agree that you need to just go out and do it, learn as you go, and always make sure you continue to grow. Youtube videos and audio books have been my best mentor so far. So although I do not have an “offical” mentor, I am blessed with having many mentors thanks to this wonderful age of technology that we live in.
+Shawn Black That is seriously so awesome for me to hear, Just knowing that it’s helpful makes it all worth it!
HAHA after having that phone call with you now I found this video finally!! Thanks again for everything graham have a great night and can’t wait to see more of your videos. I’m hoping soon ill be able to start making my own videos about my start in real estate and how I’m going about saving all my money and the big move I’m going to do in my life to achieve my goals and dreams. When the time comes I hope I get a subscribe back haha. Keep up the great work!! P.S. I think you should have a cake made out of the number 100,000 when you reach 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS! – Mike Cassata
+Cassata Productions Thanks so much man, great chatting with you! Definitely document your process as much as you can!
Would you recommend Coldwell Banker for someone who is just starting out?
+Kevin Nagle That’s where I started! And to be honest, probably not. It was great when I stated, but they take too much commission and were a little behind the times in that I thought they were more old school and traditional. I think a newer brokerage would be better, BUT coldwell had some good training.
GrahamStephan Are there some beginner friendly brokerages that you can recommend?
My favorite video of yours so far, I’m glad I found this one. I’ve heard people talk about mentors but I’ve never understood how those relationships start.
I’m new to this channel. Ladies and gents. This channel is Gold.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Yeah, I feel those mentors see “how passionate they were when they started certain journey” in you and want to help you as if they are helping younger themselves. They are busy already and would not want to do all think and work for “lazy” students.
Thanks, Graham. I like listening to your videos with autoplay while I am doing some other stuffs. From now on, I will make sure to like your videos whenever I can. Thanks for the reminder.
Rare video! I love this mentor video.
Reminds me of the book I just read last week called the go giver
Great video, stop the damn punching bag from moving though haha
LOL it’s haunted
I want to be like you Graham. Just trying to take little cues from you.
this is what i was searching for
If I ever get super wealthy you are one of the people I want to meet IRL and buy you shit ton of drinks and say thank you for everything
Haha I’m down!
He kinda needs a drink tbh. Don’t forget that a drink is 5M dolars in 30 yrs time :)))))))).
The man, loving all your videos. Great advice! (praying hands emoji)
Thank you 🙏🏼
If you could mentor me I have some money I want to invest you could get a percent of it to help and teach me some things. I want to do real estate since I was young and I have money to do it.
Hey Graham, thank you so much for making this video. So many gurus keep talking about how being mentored is the key or the secret but I always felt awkward asking someone to be my mentor when I don’t even know them. I always felt it was something that happened naturally. I want my mentorship to happen organically, not forced.
Preach!
Thanks for watching!
Teach me senpai
I disagree! Asking a question doesn’t mean you didn’t do you research. Sometimes you just want reassurance so you ask someone who has done what you’re trying to do successfully
Great content as usual man!!
It’s great that I seen this video 😎. I myself was just going to start in real estate and study what others do then partner with others along the way to gain some of their wisdom apply it and add my own twist afterwards. Great vid I fully agree with the advice.
You forgot to mention that some questions we have
You already unswered them in another comment! Or am I the only one who reads all the comments? 🤔😂
I read them all too 😂
First time watching n I agree bro
I have a critical doubt please answer me Iam very specific Iam obsessed on being successful plzz
😭😭😭😭
How it will happen naturally please I need a answer it’s a bit emmotial plz answer me
I also have no insta, I don’t even Snapchat!
I even subscribed this channel🙄
will you be my mentor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If I wanted to start an affiliate marketing business? What would you suggest that I do to have fellow entrepreneurs and mentors contact me? Should I put an email on my website? I’m not sure because the course that I registered to a while ago had no information on how to attract mentors and have them contact you
Check out ODI Productions, he’s my go-to for affiliate marketing info !
Oh okay thank you so much for the suggestion
Yo graham, you want to mentor an annoying middle school loser such as myself? Well I am open to it.
You are right. Graham
I totally agree with it. I am in the Army currently and learning these from you. Thanks for your sharing.
Hey everyone names Adam. I’m 19 currently looking for a mentor for entrepreneurship. Retirement planning and wealth growth. Please text me 269-244-8754 ( willing to travel )
Hmm nice leather jacket
Wow you really do read and reply to all comments… that’s really cool, learning and implementing a lot from your videos
Is the Facebook real estate group no longer a thing?
It’s still going on!
@Graham Stephan *in my best Andre voice* LET ME IN
Graham, the problem with google is that there are many contradicting answers on google. Whenever I search legal stuff there is always someone saying something then someone else saying the exact opposite. So google is not reliable.
Hey Graham! I’m starting from the beginning and watching all your videos and taking notes. I’m paying off debt first and I am interested in real estate for the future. I am just doing my homework. You’ll hear from me soon! (Cause I’m always commenting on your channel!) Keep up the good work! 🙂
How’s it going so far?
@Colby S Thanks for asking! I’m still going strong! I’ve paid off about 40k in debt from credit cards, school loans and personal loans. I’ve got a little while to go, but now I have thought about starting my own business. Can’t wait! 😀
Will you mentor me 😉
Yes! I hate that! When someone asks me a question they could have easily answered themselves with a simple Google search, KNOWING they have their smart phone right there! Drives me nuts. It’s like taking laziness to whole new level. Happens multiple times a day for me. It’s like people figure out that I’m smart so they start using me as if I AM Google. Makes me fill used and just another utility in their lives instead of an actual human being that they could get to know better and form a meaningful relationship with, but won’t because they have no interest in who I am… only what I can provide in the way of information. Very disheartening. By the way, will you be my mentor? LOL. JK. I’ll never move to California. It’s beautiful there, but…prices, politics, etc. blah blah blah. Thanks Graham.
Graham, do you believe it is worth it to get into the real estate business if it’s just for the money? Or do you believe it should be something you truely love?
An older video, but still an INCREDIBLE video! This video has inspired me to upload a video on business mentoring on my channel. Whats one thing that your mentor told you that you still use today?
Graham,
Absolutely agree after watching the whole vid. I just created a reddit account and followed the financial independence threads and just wanted to say thanks for mentioning this! I didnt know this side of reddit before, what a great resource!!
Irene
When I make it some day I’d love to go out for some water and a half price appetizer with you.
Are you looking for a mentor?
‘5 Minute Mentor’ has been teaching me all of the things we should’ve been taught in school to set us up for success in the modern world.
I’m talking about things like:
– How to invest your money and make it work for you.
– How to build multiple streams of income.
– How to find even more mentors.
– How to fix your credit and get a business line of credit.
– And more!
It’s not expensive so everyone can get it, and it allows you to learn these things from millionaires!

Awesome Advice! Great to see someone being very honest in this space!
My Wife & I are successful Wholesale Investors. We offer 1-1 Mentorship. Txt us 863.333.70
I feel like there are no deals where I live, in Toronto, ON. Rent prices are just way lower than property values because of people here buying houses with speculation that it will appreciate. How would you find a deal in a market like this? No properties seem to meet the 1% rule. No properties will likely cashflow without putting something crazy like 50% down. I’m lost.
Gosh darnit have I not seen this video like a year ago. That is really the one piece of information I needed to hear. Thank you Graham
This is the most helpful video I have ever seen. I feel that watching your videos is educational, motivational , and inspiring. It’s an owner to call you my mentor you have made me better.
Another cool edutainment video from the One & Only Graham Stephan.
“Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. And experience is usually the result of bad judgment.” Tony Robbins
How can I find an open house near me for real estate?
Even worse than asking someone”Will you be my mentor?” is when someone tells you “I am going to be your mentor.” Big red flag!
I just watch another video saying he wish he found a mentor first 🤔 now I’m confused
Watching your old videos after seeing your newer ones , such a difference! -@celi_marketing
Graham watching your videos makes you my mentor, whether you like it or not. 🤣
You don’t find a mentor, a mentor finds you. They don’t pick you up off the ground; they give you a boost over the top.
Who else is watching this video 3 years later, wow I’m far behind 😛
Yes!
yeah me too
me too
I would have to say this to cryptocurrency traders who are willing to accumulate as many coin right now, because i believe this is the opportunity we all have been waiting for. Only holders would suffer and cry if they refuse to trade and take advantage of the recent increase in btc price. My advice to all bitcoin traders out there is to buy bitcoin now and trade with the best signal to accumulate as much as you can, most of all seek a professional trading guide from a mentor Mr Carlos Kingston. I’ve made a significant increase in my portfolio since I started trading with kingston daily signals which has been profitable to me. With his strategy/signals I have been able to grow 1.2btc to 7.4btc in just 5 days by trading using his daily signals. Mike’s daily signals are very accurate and always yields a great positive return on investment and is always available to give a helping hand on instergram @carlos_1uptrades on how to trade profitably…
Is that in the oppenheim office? hehe
Some of us are not looking a mentor per se. We are looking for a “coach” and a guide, who will hand hold us and help us avoid -Very- costly mistakes. some of us only have ONE SHOT at this, and we need to get it right. And essentially, we don’t know what we don’t know. Yes I can look up answers in Google, but where do I begin? And there is SO MUCH TRASH on Google… how will I know what is legit and what is not?
Graham, what do you think about flipping manufactured homes in Florida?
PS: Thanks for the reddit lead
Animation artwork – does this AMV apply to that too?
My mentor = YouTube.
I took forex 📉📱💻as my part time job and I invested on mrs Charles trading platform $500 and I got $6,5”0 after a week, this idea are for beginner’s and people like me I wish I had done this 3 years ago with mrs Charles @Charles_forex09 on InSTA contact him @Charles_forex09to get started he doesn’t discriminate
If you’re trying to be an artist, Gary Vee says date a salesman-that was on utube…too.
That was mentoring on utube.
95% of forex Trader’s fail-why? Because they give up quick, it takes time and lots of experience to become a profitable trader, An alternative is seek guidance from some pro trader’s to avoid loses of funds. like me I got to know about the benefits of cryptocurrency and forex trading since I started trading with @Carlos_1uptrades on instagram. i went from $1,000 to $12,500 within 6days. I should have known this a long time ago..
That was a great video, really insightful But most successful people started from nothing. They didn’t wait for the opportunity to knock but created the opportunity on their own by working hard. Mr carlos kingston @carlos_1uptrades on Instagram, is a legendary forex trader I have been trading with for about 7 mounths now, everything he says is pretty accurate lol i just copy them and earn massive profits. I will always recommend him for your trades
I actually struggled to understand and to Place the accurate signals in forex. Then I came across Carlos kingston @carlos_1uptrades on IG. He solved the problem to discover the signals which made me to gain profit in forex trading easily. Goto him att *carlos__1uptrades* on insta.
I’m so happy that i can finally embrace financial freedom. And only Carlos kingston made it possible, I actually earned my salary within a couple of days. I never believed i could gain so much in Binary Options trade. Mr *Att Carlos_1uptrades on instagram* is the right one to help you get financial freedom goto him for assistance.
I read how to find a meteor
So your my mentor we start Wednesday
🙏🏾Amen.
@Dennis_forex09 i always recommend Mr Dennis to newbies. trading forex as a beginner, that results to a lot’s of loss of funds. because i don’t know how to read signal and place my trade, but thank God, i found Mr Dennis who is helping me to recover my lost funds and also teaching me on how to read signal and place my trade, I’m very happy i found a good teacher. if you are confuse in the forex field or you are interested in forex trading. you should check on Mr Dennis 0n Instagram @Dennis_forex09.
Still valuable 3 years later
The most successful people started from nothing. They didn’t wait for the opportunity to knock but created the opportunity on their own, worked hard and made history. Mr Dennis @Dennis__forex09 on Instagram. is a legendary binary options trader. I will always recommend him for your trade
