Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away.

Last time he was on the podcast, Jon Acuff shared something he called the notecard exercise for people who wonder how to find good mentors. Let's get to it!

The Cheat Sheet:
  • Gather a big stack of 3×5 cards. You're going to write down one person per notecard. [00:43]
  • Ask yourself these questions. [00:52]
  • You'll probably end up with a huge stack of cards -- or, at the very least, a good starting point. [01:31]
  • The purpose of this exercise is to illustrate that you have so many options that don't often come to mind, and now you've got some contacts to get the ball rolling. [02:00]
  • You can also arrange the cards on a board and reach out to your contacts one by one to see what unfolds. [02:18]
