Why You Need a Mentor to Build Wealth
Hello and welcome. Last week, we talked about ‘net worth’. We explained how people you surround yourself with contribute to this. For more on net worth, click the button below.
Today, we explain why you need a mentor, a real teacher.
Luke 8:22-24 MSG
[22-24] One day he and his disciples got in a boat. “Let’s cross the lake,” he said. And off they went. It was smooth sailing, and he fell asleep. A terrific storm came up suddenly on the lake. Water poured in, and they were about to capsize. They woke Jesus: “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” Getting to his feet, he told the wind, “Silence!” and the waves, “Quiet down!” They did it. The lake became smooth as glass.

If you want to succeed in anything—whether it’s sports, business, or making smart money moves—you need a mentor. A mentor is like a guide who has already traveled the road you’re trying to walk. They know where the shortcuts, obstacles, and opportunities are. Learning from someone who has already made money, built businesses, or mastered financial success saves you from mistakes and helps you get ahead faster. That’s financial intelligence!
A real mentor isn’t just someone who talks about success—they’ve actually done it. Imagine learning to drive from someone who has never touched a steering wheel! That wouldn’t make any sense. The same applies to financial growth. A real mentor has built wealth, made smart financial choices, and learned valuable lessons along the way. Their experience becomes a guide to success because you get to learn from their wins—and their mistakes.
But a great mentor doesn’t just know things; they know how to teach them in a way that makes sense. That’s why the articles in Future Wealth Builders break down financial intelligence into simple, practical lessons. Complicated money talk won’t help anyone—it’s the ability to apply what you learn that makes the difference. A good mentor explains things in a way that’s clear, relatable, and powerful so you can use that knowledge to grow.
Real teachers don’t just talk all day,
They’ve walked the path, they’ve paved the way.
They show, they guide, they teach you how,
To plant your seeds and grow them now.
So seek the ones who truly know,
And let their wisdom help you grow.
Your future wealth is yours to find,
With real mentors to shape your mind!
Not everyone who claims to be an expert is the real deal. Some people talk about wealth but don’t actually build it. That’s why you must choose your mentors wisely. Look for people who have real results, who inspire and challenge you, and who are willing to teach what they know. The right mentor will push you to think bigger, act smarter, and make better financial decisions.
