An alternative to super expensive career planning consultants

Typically, career planning consultants charge high fees for their services. However, career planning mentors use a “done-with-you” approach, guiding you through the intricacies of building and growing your career planning business. This method helps you develop effective strategies, reducing the need for costly consultants or agencies.

Career planning mentors will focus on:

• Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Mentors are committed to helping founders and offer valuable guidance without the hefty fees.
• Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will evaluate your specific business needs and provide personalized, step-by-step advice for growth and development.
• Actionable Advice: Rather than just theoretical concepts, a career planning mentor delivers practical steps to help you implement their strategies effectively.

Many career planning mentors have extensive experience in guiding founders through the complex stages of growing and scaling their career planning businesses. They provide:

• Strategic Growth Insights: Learn how to leverage your unique skills and experiences to scale your career planning business effectively.
• Customized Business Strategies: Receive tailored advice for business development, client acquisition, and scaling operations.
• Market and Industry Trends: Gain insights into industry trends, competitive landscape, and client needs to stay ahead in the career planning sector.

For more advanced needs, a mentor can offer specialized guidance on strategic business decisions, navigating complex market dynamics, and optimizing high-level business operations.

Career planning consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, which can quickly add up, especially for ongoing support.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a more affordable and flexible solution. For just $99 per month, you gain unlimited access to a diverse range of career planning mentors. This flat fee eliminates hourly rates and provides you with a variety of expert perspectives.

Career Planning Consultants:

• Hourly Rates: Typically between $100 to $200 per hour, based on expertise and reputation.
• Total Cost: For multiple sessions, expenses can accumulate rapidly, making it costly for continuous support.

GrowthMentor:

• Monthly Rate: $99 per month for unlimited sessions.
• Flexible Access: Connect with a range of mentors without long-term contracts.

Choosing GrowthMentor ensures continuous, personalized guidance from experienced professionals at a lower cost. This allows more of your budget to be directed towards your business development rather than high consulting fees.

Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.

But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.

The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.

On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?

The short answer: Because they want to help people.

The long answer is because…

• They enjoy sharing their knowledge
• They learn from their mentees
• They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
• They want to pay it forward

But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.
