I really thought that I wanted a mentor on my journey to help guide me and learn a few things from. But I recently got in contact with someone I felt was really on top of his stuff, and who still is. I offered him my experience in sales and marketing to help him make money in return for mentorship on entrepreneurship and business.
Come the first meetup between us and my gut tells me that it doesn't feel right. I respect the guy however I have learned after the meetup, and our first project together, that he isn't the right mentor for my journey. He is big in affiliate marketing and ecommerce, however he is very scatterbrained in his goals (multiple sources of income(focuses) and not rich in any of them from what I could tell. After our first project, which lasted about 3 days, he changed his focus and told me we're going to work on another project right after we made our first sale. In the long term he offered me employment, which he knows I will never ever go into. I will go bankrupt and die before I become an employee again. However he also offered to be an investor in my business in the future.
My gut says to drop the guy immediately, I just don't know why. But my brain says to stay with him and learn from him. Has anyone had this problem before?
