Why Mentors Are Better Than The Internet

Today the internet and search engines like Google has made information accessible and readily available. With a world of information at your fingertips, it is easy to think that this can be a replacement to the human-to-human connection built by mentorships.

While you are able to find information on the internet, these are simply answers to your question and do not provide the steps or in-depth knowledge to help you find direction and success. As such, mentorships are an invaluable relationship to have for individuals who are looking to grow and can provide far more wisdom and insight than a search on Google!

What Is A Mentor?

A mentor is an experienced and trusted guide who helps enrich the lives of individuals. This relationship helps a person gain insights, focus their energy on opportunities rather than problem areas, and find a path for success. 

When you lack experience in a certain area it can be great to have someone help guide you along your way. A mentor acts as a sounding board to keep you accountable to your goals and success. 

Having found success and overcome similar challenges you are facing, they can provide you with the guidance, experience and knowledge needed to advance your personal and professional skills in every aspect of life. From business to arts, technology to academics, mentorship is beneficial in providing direction for individuals who are looking for opportunities in their respective fields.

Your Mentor Vs The Internet

When it comes to finding out how to complete tasks or overcoming problems in life there are countless resources available online. However, this information is often outdated and not tailored to your individual needs. A mentor is focused on your personal development, while the internet can only help you with generalised answers to your query.

As such, when it comes to valuable insights, mentorship will always be valuable in comparison to relying on data posted online by strangers who most likely have no vested interest in your success.

The Internet Is Bloated With Opinions

The internet has an infinite amount of statistics, blogs, videos and more on any subject you can think about it. However, this can make finding answers difficult as you will find a multitude of opinions that conflict with each other, leaving you more confused!

In contrast, mentors do not give you the answers. They provide you with their experiences and insights within the context of your specific situation giving you the opportunity to learn from their knowledge and past mistakes, without the stress and confusion of multiple answers and opinions.

Understanding You

While technology today is fully customisable and can be tailored to your age, demographic and location, the internet’s understanding of you ends with your search history. They may be able to find the most relevant content to you, it does not understand who you are and the challenges you are facing. Alternatively, the human connection formed by mentorships is unlike anything the internet can provide.
