Research in both educational settings and in the world of business indicates that students, employees, and CEOs are more likely to succeed if they had a mentor.  Fortune 500 CEOs were asked what contributed most to their success.  Many listed an effective mentor as one of the key factors.  As a result, more and more entrepreneurs and business owners are following the lead of their corporate counterparts by engaging the services of professional business mentors.
