Zeussy Mentorship 2024 Part 2: Leveling Up Your Approach

The “Zeussy” mentorship framework, popularized by Sahil Bloom, emphasizes a highly proactive and value-driven approach to seeking guidance. Part 2 builds on the foundation of identifying who to reach out to, and focuses on how to build a meaningful, ongoing mentorship relationship – not just a one-off ask. It’s about moving beyond simply getting advice to actively growing with support.

The Expert Perspective: Most people treat mentorship like a transaction: a quick question answered, a resume reviewed. This misses the core of Zeussy’s philosophy. True mentorship is a long-term investment in your development, requiring consistent effort, vulnerability, and a willingness to show your work. It’s about building a relationship where your mentor is invested in your progress, not just completing tasks for you. This is where “social mentorship” – ongoing interaction and shared learning – dramatically outperforms simply booking time with an expert.

Actionable Steps to Implement Zeussy Mentorship (Part 2):

• Share Your Wins (and Losses): Regularly update your mentor on your progress, both successes and setbacks. Transparency builds trust and allows for tailored guidance.
• Propose Specific Questions: Don’t ask “What should I do?” Instead, present a well-defined problem and your proposed solutions. This demonstrates initiative and makes the mentorship more productive.
• Offer Value Back: Mentorship isn’t a one-way street. Look for ways to contribute to your mentor’s network or offer assistance where you can.
• Document Your Journey: Publicly track your progress and learnings. This not only holds you accountable but also provides valuable context for your mentor.
• Follow Through: Consistently implement the advice you receive and report back on the results. This demonstrates respect for your mentor’s time and expertise.
