STOP Asking for FREE Mentorship!

A Mentor often offers (free) service in the form of their time as a form of 'give back' or community service in a way that guides, advises, and sometimes counsels someone new to their specific industry.

This is often done in-person, by phone, or over email (one-on-one or in a group) or through their (paid) books, podcasts, and mentorship programs -- Mentorship is expected to be FREE, but yes, sometimes compensation is expected and appreciated!

- However, -

A Coach or a (paid) coaching program (which is what new entrepreneurs are often seeking) usually offers teachings, trainings, and instructions in specialized areas (like money, marketing, mindset, ministry, manifestation, etc).

Mentors (usually older when dealing with The Small Business Administration (SBA) and/or SCORE are often retired executives (who may not have been entrepreneurs) and don't provide specialized teachings or may not be well-versed or extremely knowledgeable in your specific area of entrepreneurial expertise (like digital marketing, social media marketing, etc.).

It's not impossible to find an older mentor's help with these, but it's very rare -- trust me, I've looked through the databases...recently!

All of that to say, know what area(s) of your business you're seeking help in {and be willing to invest time/money}, and seek out a Mentor (or a Coach) in that specific area of your business -- someone who has had SUCCESS in that specific area(s) in THEIR business endeavors -- otherwise, you'll either land on a general 'business mentor' (who may not be willing to reveal all the "secrets" and shortcuts they took to success -OR- the information they share "used to work back in THEIR day"

P.s. - NO ONE is going to mentor you long-term, for FREE on how to build YOUR money-making business idea(s) -- without expecting SOMETHING in return (like payment or a portion of your company)...Also, My last SCORE Mentor still had shag carpet from the 1970's, so...Click 'Play' to find out more about the Black Woman Christian Life Coach Certification Self-Study Training online
