Blogging as a form of mentoring

I am a strong believer in the power of a good mentor/mentee relationship. As cliché as it sounds, a good mentor helps the mentee connect-the-dots. The mentee has a goal but often has an unclear or ill defined path to get there. A mentor is someone that has already traveled down a similar path the mentee is going, and can help the mentee understand a) what direction to go and b) how to fill those gaps.


I have been following a handful of blogs over the past five years or so. In addition to finding the informational content that I was searching for, I gained insights on how to move forward along my own path, i.e. using blogs as a form of mentorship.


The blog I have read the most Brad Felds (www.feld.com) and am currently on the look for good entrepreneur , business development, and CEO blogs.
