> Find a great mentor

This is harder than the sentence makes it seem. Subproblems involved in finding a mentor include:

1) Knowing yourself well enough to know who would make a good mentor for you.

2) Finding and asking someone in a way that is not functionally equivalent to asking someone "Hey, could you commit to spend an unbounded amount of time helping a stranger?"

3) Asking well-framed questions that set your mentor up for success in helping you.

Does anyone have recommendations or advice on how to better frame the "find a mentor" problem or how to accomplish it?
