I am tired of going to business functions, and having a bald man chase me around with a clipboard questioning my business goals, with a sugary interest, the mandatory follow up call, “We would work well together”, and then the outline of how much it would cost ME to work well with him.
What do you need a mentor for?
What are your goals for using a mentor?
What are the mentors credentials?
What are there own personal success stories. ~ I actually had one tell me that her only personal business experience was selling lavender bags from the lavender grown in her garden when she was ten. And she was getting $250 an hour to coach people to run their business.
Well everyone can use a little help, where is it to be found?
Here are a couple of websites that offer mentor matching services:-

Though maybe like the health industry, people need to pay money to commit to something?
