Mentoring Objectives & Scope

I hope to spark good conversations in the areas of interest. I hope to counsel to help my mentees figure out what they think and not to advice on their lives. I believe there's no expert adviser of someone's life! But what I can do is paint a good picture of what it is (from my own personal experiences) to be an entrepreneur and / or part of the corporate world. People will often say the got good/or bad advice. That's probably not true, they just got good advice that didn't fit or an advice that fit!
