The best mentor is trial and error, making mistakes, learning and optimizing.

It is always good to have a seasoned person to bounce ideas off of and get advice, but learning hands on is the best mentor.

What I find is people get greedy and think they know it all in the beginning. Instead of finding a true mentor and learning from them while giving up 50% of the profits, they step in landmines along the way and end up with no profit.

This statement generally comes from the real estate side but can be applied in almost any business.

Key is to finding a mentor you know and trust. If you’re going to give up half of something they better bring value for that even if you’re doing all the heavy lifting day to day stuff.

I disagree. I think someone else’s trials and errors work too. I don’t need to put my hands on a hot stove to know it will burn me. Plenty of other people have done that enough for me to learn from them and know better.
