Me:

Does a mentor need to charge money before mentoring?

Mute Efe:

It depends.

If it is one on one mentoring, No.

Me:

Explain please.

How does one choose a life mentor not yearly?

Mute Efe:

But if it is a mentoring program where there are many people being mentored by one person he can charge a fee. Just like coaching.

If you find someone who represents everything you aspire for you can make him a life mentor.

Me:

Is it necessary for one to have a permanent mentor to succeed in life?

Can a mentor be selective or choose his/her mentee?

Mute Efe:

Yes

Me:

Do you still at your age now have a mentor?

Mute Efe:

Yes.

Even Oyedepo has a mentor.

Me:

Can one have many mentors?

Mute Efe:

You can have several mentors in different areas

Me:

Should one choose a person he is above in age as a mentor?

Mute Efe:

It's possible. It is called reverse mentoring.

Me:

Me:

What is the demerit of mentoring?

Mute Efe:

Sometimes conflicts can arise.

And if the mentor is not really mature he can become hostile when the mentee starts making fast progress.

Me:

Can one's wife or husband serve as ones' mentor?

Mute Efe:

Many ladies have married their mentors

But it is common with men. Most men choose men as mentors. But ladies also choose men, too.

Me:

Can it serve as a life mentoring after marriage?

Can one's mentor intentionally mislead his mentee?

Mute Efe:

Yes.

Me:

If it happens, how could one possibly find out in time?

Mute Efe:

A wife can regard her husband as her mentor for life.

I have never heard of such but it is possible. However, there must have been an issue in the relationship and the mentee would have known that all is no longer well.

Me:

If a mentee has a multiple vital purpose in life, should he/her listen or follow the mentor's advice?

Me:

If I ask you now to be my mentor and it happened that you said yes. What would you expect to be your reward - my success in life or in monitory aspect?

Mute Efe:

If the mentee does not want to follow the mentor's advice he should not have chosen him.

For your second question, I am not accepting mentees right now.

Me:

Thank you for your time. Please answer the last question. Thank you once more.

Mute Efe:

I will have to find out if I am the right mentor for you.

For example, a musician cannot come and ask me to be his mentor. I will decline.

Me:

What reward mentors accept from their mentees' mostly?

Mute Efe:

Even though mentors may not demand any reward, it is expected that a mentee should appreciate his mentor.

The mentee should use his discretion to determine the form of appreciation.

Me:

Thank you very much.

Should one seek to be someone's mentor?

Mute Efe:

No.

But one can start a mentoring program and let people decide whether they want him to be their mentor.

I have one mentor that I pay to be in his program. I have another one that I don't pay.

Me:

Is it advisable to be a musician and as well be a public motivational speaker?

What secret should I know about mentoring?

Mute Efe:

A public speaker can be in any profession. Once you are successful people will want you to come speak to them

Chinedu, we have exceeded your time.

Me:

Yes. Thank you. I learn.

Mute Efe:

The secret about mentoring is that everybody needs a mentor in one area or another.

Mentorship is the influence, guidance, or direction given by a mentor. A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person. In an organizational setting, a mentor influences the personal and professional growth of a mentee. Wikipedia

A mentor is person who has more knowledge than you do. A mentor gives you direction and mostly motivate you when the bridge seem tiny to cross to the next phase of life.
