This is a continuation of a post on the "Warrior Forum" which you can find below should you wish to read the first half of my answer and the question itself.
POSTED HERE
Just suppose you were wealthy to the point of financial independence, what would you charge for your time and expertise? This figure should be what you are willing to pay.
On the flip side, I took the risk of paying someone $197 once and the advice I got was really not at all comprehensive or even useful. I got a 5 minute consultation I think in the end. Move on time.
Think carefully about what kind of mentor you want. What do they earn? What are their character traits? How do you feel when you write or speak with them? What do you think and feel after speaking with them? How much do you intend to pay them? What is the nature of the relationship? What do they do exactly? Do you have total confidence in the relationship you are forming? On the flip side, what are your true motives? Answering these and any more questions IN ADVANCE will attract the RIGHT mentor for you hopefully.
A word on TRUE MOTIVES...
TRUE MOTIVES could be an underlying urge to make yourself look inferior to a guru due to some kind of lack of self belief. On the other hand, it could be your TRUE MOTIVE that you know that you know you have got more in you than what you have been demonstrating and its time to put a little reliance on someone who has trodden the path you're seeking to tread.
Consider this point. Anything less than somewhere in the range of $150 (per month) to $3000 once-off, and I think you will find yourself struggling. That is my experience. Anything more and you need to look at the scale of what you are seeking to create and your seriousness and resources carefully before plunging in...
As a final note, I would say look to be working with your mentor for a bare minimum of THREE MONTHS, starting from the day you commit. This gives both you and the mentor to perform, without belabouring a relationship that is not working out.
