***Quora question: What is the best way to find a mentor for my business?
***Doug's answer: There are a number of ways that you can search for and find a mentor. You need to determine first however what it is that you need. You also have to come to terms with the fact that your mentor(s) do not need your industry specific experience. It is a nice to have – not a need to have.
I am mentoring a number of people in different industries/sectors and we are moving forward with no difficulty. Check with your local business community to see if there are any mentoring programs where they match mentors and mentees. You can also look on line for various organization that provide business mentoring. Some mentoring software providers may also offer that as a service.
