# I wish I could connect and be mentored by a seasoned entrepreneur like Dan Martell

I’ve kept a tab open on my Chrome browser for months with the search query “Dan Martell”... I did that to hope to one day be in a pursuit to connect with him somehow. I always felt like someone with grand influence (like Dan) would be able to give me tips and a pedestal to show my skills and my insight to catapult my career as an independent. And it’s weird because it could happen at any moment if I put effort into doing so, nobody really knows what could happen. The pursuit for this kind of thing is new and weird for most people. I often feel like those who get that level (at least most) don’t really care about sharing what they did so that others may duplicate it. Maybe what they did won’t work for us… Maybe we have to find out for ourselves… maybe what you know could help others… The real bottom line is we will never know until we try…

Or is it just empty wishful thinking?
