Answers
A mentor should consist of 3 things
1. Have a track record, be knowledgeable and connected in your the area of your startup (e.g. real-estate, fashion or semi-conductors, building a startup, writing a book)
2. Share your vision
3. You should think he's cool and he should think you're cool
If you have all of these 3 things, then the mentor is valuable and you can think about giving a stake in your company.
Definitely sharing vision is a big one. I would also add someone who shares similar values and ideally who's done what you're looking to do. Finding the right mentor takes lots of time and effort, and having the right mentor will make the journey a lot easier.
I believe that the first step in finding a mentor is to know your goals both for the short and long terms. Once that is done, decide who do you look up to and then begin your search for the right mentor for your achieving your goals.

How can I find my niche for consulting?
Hello, I like how you have identified your passion and understand who you want your target audience to be. I have sold technology solutions for 6+ years to entrepreneurs and business owners- a big part of the selling process requires value-adding, which can only be achieved by understanding the minds of your target audience. To find a niche, you need to start by asking yourself what kind of value you can bring to your specific target audience of entrepreneurs or business owners. Everyone has limited attention span these days and unless you can figure out what these people care about and how your coaching/consulting services can benefit them, it will be difficult to connect and add value for the entrepreneurs. In short, you should determine your niche by figuring out what these folks care about and then hone your craft around providing value for those individuals. Happy to get on a phone call if you want to talk about specifics. Best, KevinSH

How do I become a consultant?
STOP!!! DON'T DO IT. GO GET A REAL JOB!! PLEASE! You don't plan to be a consultant. You become a consultant because the experience and wisdom you have is so obvious that those around you are eager to pay you for your insight. It's a calling -- not a job. Giving your "business advice" to a startup is like telling a 2-year-old to go "poo poo in th potty" -- anyone can do it. You just have to be a little bit more sophisticated than a baby. To service people who have money (and who are serious about how they spend that money) you need to take you game to a whole new level. I suggest you intern or partner with an amazing consultant who does this already. Learn. Do the gritty work that no one else is wiling to do. Everyone is a coach. Right? Drink a beer on game day and you supposedly know more than than the dude on the sidelines with the clipboard. But is that "really" the case? Of course not... DON'T BE A COACH. BE A LEADER.DW

I have sold several companies -one for mid 6 figures, yet I'm not a millionaire. Who is best suited to coach me to reach my goal of 30M net worth?
Hi, this is Ann, a business coach for small entrepreneurs. Your situation is no longer related to "small business". Instead, you are in the phase of "extension". Hence, I would recommend you contact some outstanding performance coaches. Again, OUTSTANDING performance coaches! If you expect to be outstanding, get around outstanding people :) From my own experience in the coaching network, I would suggest you take a look at the coaches from Evercoach. They are all amazing coaches. Rich Litvin, Ajit Nawalkha or Christina Berkley are among the best coaches right now. They are pioneers in the coaching trend. They have created an extremely strong and high postion for Evercoach, one of the most professional coaching tribes so far. I am not advertising their brand names. In fact, I am one of their clients, who have been fully convinced by the real quality of their services. If you want more information on this, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, AnnAP
