Mentor wanted!

Business Gateway has a great suggestion whereby they have a program for women mentoring other business women.
Sounds great and I did contact them once after I’d gathered up my courage – - I got a wrong number so I took that as a sign and didn’t call again!!. But honestly I think finding a mentor in your chosen area will be rarer than hen’s teeth. Fine if you have a regular business – is there such a thing? But even then if someone was successful would they want to be bothered with the type of business I have – it’s never going to be a big financial earner but then it was never really meant to be. That doesn’t mean to say that help and advice would be wasted on me just makes it extremely unlikely that Hilary Devey, Channel 5′s Business Inspector would have anything other to say than “why bother?”.
There are a couple of good business forums out there where you can get free advice from business owners but often they seem to be frequented by people touting for business trying to sell you SEO consultancy or tax advice. But for the newbie website developer or DIY-er there seems to be very little advice apart from “pay me £500 or £1000 and I’ll do it for you.”
No wonder Site Build It does so well!!
