## The Value of a Real Mentor
No YouTube video or online course replaces having someone experienced who actually cares about your growth.
### How to find a mentor
- Deliver exceptional work on small projects
- Ask thoughtful questions at the right time
- Offer to help them on their next project
- Stay in touch without being needy
### What not to do
Don’t cold message established people asking “Will you mentor me?” That almost never works.
Mentorship is earned through consistent good work and respectful behavior, not requested in a DM.
The best mentors in Kollywood are usually the ones who noticed you because you made their life easier on set.
