Nobody knows everything. You're obviously young. Mentors aren't necessarily people in your direct line of work. Figure out where you think you need to grow/learn and go find someone that excels in those areas. My guess is you'll be surprised and enriched by establishing a few of those relationships. I don't have a mentor per se but I have several business owners in related businesses that I keep in touch with on a regular basis. I just pick their brain and get advice on broad and specific topics. It's motivating/inspiring to me to be around other driven and successful people. Give it a go.

Good advice.

And off-topic, but your username has taken on a whole new meaning since you joined TD.

I would just call these guys friends/colleagues. I agree that these people are important, but when I hear the word "mentor" I automatically think of the Seinfeld episode with the mentor/protege. If I had a mentor, I would probably be happy that he built enough net worth to retire comfortably in thirty years, and not be distraught.
