One is having a mentor, another would be having a peer, and a third would be mentoring someone. So, great post about your mentors. Its fascinating to read about where people first found inspiration and help. My question would be: who are your peers (help each other out) and who are you mentoring?

I got really lucky by having a financial mentor in my late teens. Taught me all about the stock market so I hit the ground running in my early 20s. Good advice.

I've been mentored by a man I've known half my life who really made a big difference for me spiritually. And I currently meet regularly with an accountability group. We encourage, challenge, advise and pray for one another. Proverbs 27:17 -"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." Good stuff Matt.

As a somewhat established blogger, I enjoy helping others out because I know that if others hadn't helped me out when I started out, I wouldn't be where i am today. Bloggers like Bob at Christianpf.com, Larry at gatherlittlebylittle.com and a ton of others really helped me out a lot, linked to me, and gave me pointers. I think the PF blogosphere really thrives because there are so many willing to help like that. Keep up the good work, and pay it forward! Thanks for your kind comments Matt, I appreciate it!

A couple people who have gone out of their way to have that sort of relationship with me are: Jonathan Mead from IlluminatedMind.net (and Zen Habits) and Jim Wang from Bargaineering.com These guys had no big motivation to help me out, but went out of their way to. It's an awesome feeling that I hope to be able to pass along in the near future! Great article about the importance of being and having a mentor.
