Wondering how to find a mentor? If so, you probably already know that spamming someone's direct messages or sending fruit baskets to their home isn’t the best way to get mentorship. Smart entrepreneurs, investors, and BiggerPockets viewers know that finding a mentor isn’t done by chance, but by design. Last week we talked to Tomás Cardenas from Team Kekoa, where he mentioned his mentor, boss, friend, and investing partner Kekoa Lwin. Today, you’ll learn exactly how Tomás used a three-step approach to earn Kekoa’s trust and make his way onto his team. These steps aren’t groundbreaking, and they’re simple enough for anyone to use in any industry, not just real estate!
