Advice on Finding a Mentor

Seeking Advice
1

Good morning…

I just passed my test and I’m ready to move on to the next step in my career! Right now, I’m running a part-time business that lets me work from home and be on the phone a lot, and I plan to quit that as soon as I can.
My husband is a busy realtor and runs his own brokerage with his family, but I really want to find a mentor instead of jumping into a call center. I know I’ll be making a small commission while I’m training, but that’s cool with me.
I’m based in Illinois, so if anyone has advice on finding a mentor or tips on getting started, I’d really appreciate it!

Best wishes…
