I've been fortunate in having a couple of good mentors during the course of my career, and they were relationships that just sorta happened. Not very directed, and without strategic foresight, but nonetheless valuable beyond gold.
Kris Dunn over at Fistful of Talent has an interesting post expanding this to a Personal Board of Directors or PBOD. Great thought, increase the numbers, improve the help you receive.
And remember, a mentor isn't doing this strictly because they want to give back. They are getting something out of the relationship, too. Good chance you won't know what that is until you mentor someone yourself.
