Mentorship has been one of the most underrated yet game-changing parts of my journey. It gave me clarity when I was lost, confidence when I was doubting, and shortcuts I would’ve taken years to learn on my own.
Here’s how mentorship shaped me — and the advice I’d give to new creators finding their footing:
👥 1. Mentors Help You Skip the Guesswork
A great mentor doesn’t just cheer you on — they help you:
Avoid costly mistakes
Focus your energy on what actually works
Think long-term, not just viral
My mentors helped me stop chasing trends and start building strategy.
💡 2. They Remind You: You’re Not Alone
Content creation can be isolating. Having someone who’s been there makes the journey feel less chaotic and more grounded. My mentors were the ones who told me, “It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to pivot.”
That reassurance? Priceless.
🎓 Advice I’d Give Emerging Creators:
✅ 1. Learn from people ahead of you — but don’t copy them.
Absorb their wisdom, but stay true to your own tone and style. That’s what makes you unforgettable.
✋ 2. Ask for feedback — and be ready to hear it.
The right mentor won’t flatter you. They’ll help you grow. Stay open, not defensive.
🌱 3. Find mentors in many forms.
Mentors can be:
A person you DM
A creator you quietly study
A podcast, a book, or even a community like MoreFans
Guidance is everywhere if you’re willing to seek it.
🎯 Final Thought:
Mentorship helped me become not just a better creator — but a more intentional one. And now, I try to pass that same energy on whenever I can.
If you’re a few steps ahead of someone else, you’re qualified to be a mentor too. Start the cycle — you never know who you might lift.
