You talk to colleagues, network online, participate in business groups and meetings, go to networking events, and meet at your church or temple.  You find a protégé.  Your informal mentoring may go well.  Or it may not. 

Mentoring often is haphazard, messy, and unsatisfying. You're dependent on a single founder.  Your mentee has little commitment, other than his goodwill.  There may be a poor personal fit between you and him.  He may not take your advice.  He may not be in a position to act on your suggestions.   He may simply have higher priorities.  Or you may not have the right expertise or style to truly help him. 

Many first-time entrepreneurs need a huge amount of help.  That typically goes way beyond the time and resources you can provide. 

You provide a strategy and action plan for your mentees.  Shouldn't the mentoring itself have a plan?

The Tribe has your back.  Our structured program puts mentors in control. The Tribe requires a real commitment so members are motivated to plan, get help from leaders and mentors, and act to grow their business.  Tribe meetings naturally limits your time investment so mentoring is not an open-ended sink.  The group environment makes it more likely that you'll find founders and owners with a matching business need and personality fit.  Tribe Blue's process-orientation, system of objectives, commitments, and needs, and member support free you from administrative and operational hassles.  We enable you to focus on what you do well - help others.
