Starting a career planning business is no easy task. It’s a field with its own set of challenges and opportunities.

Navigating this industry requires more than just a good idea. It demands a deep understanding of market trends, client needs, and effective strategies.

While general advice can be helpful, nothing compares to learning from someone who has been through the journey. The right mentor can help you avoid common pitfalls, streamline your processes, and make informed decisions.

Wouldn’t you prefer to have a guide who’s walked this path before?

You can. Just talk to a career planning mentor.

Why should I trust GrowthMentor’s mentors?

Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.

But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.

The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.

On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?

The short answer: Because they want to help people.

The long answer is because…

  • They enjoy sharing their knowledge
  • They learn from their mentees
  • They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
  • They want to pay it forward

But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.
