I suggest:

1. Read - books and articles about what you are doing

2. Go to conferences and meetups and ask questions

3. Make learning and self-mentoring part of your daily flow

4. See mistakes as learning opportunities and get your team to see it the same way, talk about mistakes with your team

5. If possible, find someone to mentor you externally, maybe even just an hour or two a month, just to ask them questions

Learn how to learn and how to figure things out. A mentor is there for perspective and pointing you in the right direction. Working with other like minded people that can help you at least think of things from a different perspective can go a long way.
