1 Identify your goals and needs

Before you start looking for a mentor, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and what kind of help you need. Do you want to develop your skills, network, or business model? Do you need technical, strategic, or emotional support? Do you prefer a formal or informal relationship? Write down your goals and needs and use them as criteria to evaluate potential mentors.

Having your top 2-3 objectives (outcomes) you hope to achieve allows your mentor to assess their own skills to ensure an optional match.

2 Research and network

Once you have defined your goals and needs, you can start researching and networking to find potential mentors. You can use online platforms, such as LinkedIn, AngelList, or Mentorloop, to search for profiles of health entrepreneurs who have relevant experience, skills, or interests. You can also attend events, workshops, or webinars related to health entrepreneurship and connect with speakers, organizers, or participants. You can also ask your peers, colleagues, or friends for recommendations or referrals.

3 Reach out and communicate

When you have identified some potential mentors, you need to reach out and communicate with them. You can send them a brief and polite email or message, introducing yourself, explaining your goals and needs, and expressing your interest in learning from them. You can also ask them if they are available for a phone call or a meeting to discuss further. Be respectful, professional, and enthusiastic, but also realistic and flexible. Don't expect them to say yes right away or to commit to a long-term relationship.

When you reach out, I would include the reasons why you feel they would be a good fit mentor, in addition to explaining your own goals and needs. This allows them to understand that you've made a considered decision in choosing them.

4 Build rapport and trust

If you get a positive response from a potential mentor, you need to build rapport and trust with them. You can do this by being prepared, punctual, and respectful in your interactions. You can also show genuine interest, curiosity, and appreciation for their insights and advice. You can also share your challenges, successes, and feedback with them. You can also offer your help, support, or value in return. Remember that mentoring is a two-way street and that you need to give as well as receive.

You also need to respect their time, privacy, and preferences. You also need to be honest, open, and accountable for your actions and progress.

You also need to celebrate your achievements, acknowledge your challenges, and overcome your obstacles. You also need to appreciate your mentor, thank them, and acknowledge their impact on your journey.
