I had this idea pop into my head this afternoon while scrolling through a Facebook business group. I saw a post where one of the newbie members decried the lack of business owners with verifiable success in such groups that could make themselves available to answer questions or serve as a mentor of sorts (naturally, I told him about this forum and MJ's books). The post got the gears turning in my head again.
I have this idea right now to create a "Micro-Mentoring" app where those new to business, a hobby, a career, etc. could connect with someone more experienced/successful in a given field/pursuit for short, one on one mentorship sessions to ask/answer questions and give/receive insight. The mentee would of course pay for these sessions, the mentor would receive most of the proceeds (75%-80%) while my company would pocket the remaining 20%-25%. The mentor could set his/her prices either flat or by the minute or hour, the mentor in question would of course have to be verified to be who they claim to be before being allowed to take sessions, so they couldn't misrepresent themselves and possibly scam users.
What do you all think?
Personally, I think it could work. A lot of people, especially those starting out in business, seem to be seeking out mentors all the time.
