Mentorlando (started in Orlando, FL but expanding nationwide) pairs up mentors with rising stars of free enterprise. It is the responsibility of one generation to pass on their knowledge to the next.
If you are new to the business scene and interested in going beyond "a good job" you may apply here for mentorship and counseling. While there is no charge to be mentored there are commitments of time and effort. There is a six to eight week vetting and interview process that can be very in depth. If our mentors are going to invest the next three to five years of their lives in you, they want to be sure you are willing to learn and commit the time as well.
"The cheapest mistakes are somebody else's, especially when starting a business." Eric Shulman, Business Therapist
There is no charge for this service, although some optional business and investment opportunities may require some capital. It is 100% volunteer. Please respect the time of the mentors though.

You may notice there is no "About Us" page. This is because our mentors are like many other successful people and prefer to retain web anonymity. The only way to contact them through this site is to apply to be mentored, or be a mentor.
We are here to "pass the torch" to the next generation. Business ownership can be enhanced and promoted by mentorship from successful business owners and entrepreneurs
Our mentors have demonstrated that they can be successful. They understand that it is important to surround yourself with people that have done what you want to do, and achieved the results you wish to achieve
Very few people succeed on their first attempt at starting a business. Success comes from knowledge, knowledge comes from experience, and experience comes from failures. Do not be afraid to fail. We believe in "failing your way to success."
