Many people turn to friends, relatives, or those people’s friends and relatives, to find their mentors for whatever area in which they want to grow. However sometimes, that search can prove fruitless. Or, you need to learn, and learn as much as possible, in the shortest amount of time, as soon as you can. You simply won’t have time to scour around. Let alone foster a relationship needed for a good mentorship.
Mentors for Hire
Enter professional mentors. And by professional, it does not just connote expert knowledge, it also means, well, not free.
Mentoring is a bit like school anyway, for which you may have to pay tuition for specialized courses. Fortunately a lot of industry experts offer mentoring services, or at least some semblance of it. It can be a an investment, specially when applied to business training, career coaching, or executive coaching. It may even yield quick returns, specially when it comes to professional business mentors. You don’t just pay for organized learning and individual coaching, but you’re also increasing your capacity for greater income. The fees you pay for professional mentors will return to you, and then some, provided that their training won’t go to waste.
Mentor Shopping
Depending on your field, there may or may not be tight competition for professional mentors. If there are a lot of alternatives to choose from, make an effort to find something that will fulfill your needs, and prove to be the best value for your money.
Most professional mentors will likely have a portfolio of clients. Read through their testimonials and see how they gauge the program’s success. And if they don’t have that portfolio, be extra cautious: they might just be starting out and so will not have a more streamlined approach. Sort of like buying the first generation of a gadget–it may satisfy your immediate needs, but you’ll feel cheated when a better version comes out a few months after your purchase.

It might be cliché, but it’s oh so true: every person can stand to learn something from someone else, no matter who it is.
Based on this premise, mutual mentorship is an alternative to the traditional mentor program, allowing for a two-way experience of giving and taking knowledge. This style is specially applicable to groups of people with a large age gap. For example, a very experienced businessman can stand to learn from a techy entrepreneur, and of course the younger can learn from the senior’s vast knowledge and experience. Mutual mentorships can also apply to people of relatively the same age, ability, and experience, but approach concepts, tasks and problems from the opposite ends of the spectrum.
Great Mentorship Style for Large Organizations
An organization with a big number of members or employees can stand to gain the most from this kind of mentoring, specially if it is executed well. Aside from the great savings made from alternative training, mentoring or coaching methods (like seminars and conferences), it promotes a sense of community. Mutual mentorship forces people to talk to others who they would never have approached under other “normal” circumstances. Happy people make a happier and more productive collective identity.
Playing Matchmaker
For mutual mentorships to pan out well, great care must be taken. It can be a little like dating–pair two people without “chemistry” and it could lead to disappointment instead of a massive growth opportunity. There must be some similarity or common ground so that the two can connect, but they must be different enough so as to balance each other when dealing with stressful situations. If for example, the numbers for each side are not equal, the ratio should be as even as possible so as not to lose the intimate nature of mutual mentorships. And if, by some chance, pairings or groupings should fail, a rotation of partners could make better matches.

So you decide to take matters into your own hands, and do your best to grow–in your personal, business, or religious life. But who can you turn to? Of course, it should be someone you admire, at least in the area where you want to grow. Here are some places to look:
Family
Have you always admired your uncle’s innate business sense? Or your cousin’s committed spirituality? Do you find your sister’s baking skills incomparable to anyone else? Hang out with them more often, as often as you possibly could. There are a lot of things going for this mentor option: you get to spend quality time with your kin, you get the chance to learn from each other, and best of all, it’s 100% free!
Friends
Learning from a peer can prove to be invaluable. They can provide fresh insight to a seemingly impossible situation, and make you exclaim, “D’oh! Why didn’t I think of that?” Besides, you might have friends that have exceeded your level in a common field of interest. The downside is that your friendship will affect the mentoring process; it will either strengthen or weaken your bond as friends. But then again, it’s free!
Friends’ Friends
Yes, turn to the friends of your friends (in Facebook, your “extended network”) if there is no one among your family and friends who pass muster. Going this route grows your options exponentially. Be sure to do more research if you go with this option.
Your Frenemy
Everyone has a frenemy or frienemy. You know, the one who you deal with fairly decently, but is really involved in a tight competition with you–whether implied or not. There is surprisingly a lot to learn from these people. Maybe not to the extent that Plankton tries to steal Mr. Krabs’ secret sauce recipe. But something more like Rory Gilmore’s relationship with Paris Geller, both pushing each other to be better than the other. When applied to business, you can approach someone in the same industry, but not your direct competition. Maybe it’s someone with a different client list, or caters to a different location than yours.
