There are several places where you may be able to find a mentor:
- Government Mentoring Programs such as Small business development centers (SBDCs), which works with community colleges and local business development councils to offer mentoring programs http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html ; or the Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training http://www.sba.gov/womeninbusiness/wnet_roundtables.html
- Volunteer programs such as SCORE http://www.score.org which is composed of mostly retired executives and entrepreneurs
- Formal mentoring programs such as Athena Foundation http://www.athenafoundation.org/programs/globallinks.html , Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program http://www.helzbergmentoring.org/HEMP/ , or The Aspen Institute MicroMentor Program http://www.micromentor.org
- Professional organizations such as the National Women’s

Check out this guy's site. He offers mentoring (it's not cheap) but the testimonials rave about he teaching. Even if you don't take his mentoring you can learn a whole bunch just by looking through his site.

I offer free mentoring services to entrepreneurs who are hoping to start their own business. I am somewhat selective in who I will work with. Send me some more details about yourself to Bruce at boatclub@go.com . I will have more questions before I start to work in your behalf.

My parents and some of my friends owes businesses, and from what I see they NETWORK all the time. Talk to people, they are quite helpful in multiple ways.
In multiple ways I mean:
-starting a business
-finding business for you co
-giving you advice on who to talk to for financial advising,
-the list goes on
