After spending my retirement funds on mentors, I have realized that most of this information you can find at the library. Is it worth spending the money for someone who is successful to teach you want they know...I strongly believe " What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" Napolean Hill. I want to break into real estate and need a good mentor.. Rich Dad coaching is pricey but I'm considering paying the price. Anyone has any suggestions?

I would say that it depends on what kinds of information that you are seeking from your mentor. Most information about many things such as financial management can be found in books. However, there are some information that you don't usually get from books, such as some secrets in businesses. To get these kind of valuable information, you will need to get mentors. Yet, most mentors only give surface or general information rather than really getting you to where you want to reach. Just beware friend

You are right. After spending tens of thousands on learning to trade in the stock market I realize I am still a novice on the topic. They spoon feed you little knowledge and the day your funds run out so does the trades you were receiving.

I prefer something free, even though I knew the fact nothing is free, and there is no free lunch whatsoever. If you knew a friend, or someone who can be a good adviser, why not ask them for advise? Or you can spend some extra time in the library, or searching the internet for insightful information to help you to decide. There is no right answer at the first time, we just need to train ourselves from step by step.

I don't think I have ever had a mentor that cost me a penny! They people that mentored me in my life were just giving their time and advice when I was with them in their own element or activity, not my own. Also, I think books would be cheaper than hiring a mentor as well...
