Its easy to think that if someone is less than responsive, it means they're uninterested in mentoring you. I'll remember to be just as persistent in getting their attention as I am in achieving other goals. Love the layout, btw. Cheers! The “Be Persistent” part really struck a chord with me.

Point I wanted to bring up is that *true* mentors are doing it because they are paying it forward. They were effected tremendously by someone in their life and they are repaying the favor by helping you. *True* mentor is NOT looking for you to add value for him/her, they just want to help. The almighty Karma balance, you want to keep it in black at all times. I have several young entrepreneurs I am mentoring and there is no better satisfaction than getting that e-mail from them telling me what is working for them. I know I am repaying for all the help my mentors gave me and continue giving me. If you see someone who is where you were before, extend your hand and help them climb that ladder of success. Cheers!

Design is clean and glad that you chose to keep yourself up front and central. I love the mentoring advise. We rarely stop to think about those we follow until we walk off the same cliff.
