    I am frequently asked to mentor students and recent alum. I've taught tens of thousands of college students. This book is the guide I am looking for as a mentor and a teacher so I can be more effective and efficient with these opportunities.

  • "Great Take Aways; Great Structure"

    I am really impressed with Eric's message. Super mentors provide you opportunities and access not advice. We don't need any more advice. We need someone who believes in us. The author shares strategies about how to make it easy for others to help us. I am already putting into practice the tools shared in this book.

A Must-Have in Business Mentoring & Coaching

The Truth: Success Is
All About Who You Know

To get where you want to go in life — to be successful — you’ve undoubtedly been told to “find a mentor.” To search for a wise sage who will hold your hand throughout life, offering advice. The Yoda to your Luke, Dumbledore to your Harry, Glinda to your Dorothy. 

Sorry to say…but most of us will never find that one special voice of advice. That, however, doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. 

Truth is, there are powerful people out there — many in fact — extraordinary leaders in their fields who can move the needle for you. 

Modern mentorship is about opportunity, not advice. What you really need is to ask someone to open a door for you, provide an introduction, or move your resume to the top of the pile. 

This book outlines how anyone, even “ordinary” people, without powerful friends or well-connected circles, can build a team of extraordinary Super Mentors around them. It’s your guide to getting people in your every corner, helping you get exactly where you’ve always dreamed of going.
