Why speak 1:1 with a project management expert?

Typically, project management experts charge a high consulting fee if you want them to do the work for you. But our project management experts are first and foremost, mentors. This means they work by the “done-with-you” approach, allowing you to learn how to manage projects on your own, eliminating the need for expensive experts or agencies.

Project management mentors will focus on:

Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Because mentors are passionate about helping others, they’ll provide you with support and advice for project management without the steep fees.

Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of project management methodologies and tools.

Actionable Advice: A project management mentor won’t leave you with a bunch of nonactionable theory. Instead, they’ll walk you through exactly how to start implementing their advice.

What can a project management expert do for me?

Most project management mentors have managed numerous projects over their careers. Some have even been in project management since the field began.

These mentors have the real-world experience you need to give your projects an edge.

With a mentor’s advice, project management practices will be less daunting. You’ll understand what limits your project’s success, what can lead to delays, and what strategies tend to yield better outcomes for your team.

For more advanced users, a project management mentor can guide you through advanced techniques, detailed frameworks for risk management, and how to navigate complex project scopes. They can even share examples of successful projects they’ve overseen so you can learn from their experiences.

So you can achieve better project outcomes with less effort, trial, and expense, regardless of your experience level.

Cost Comparison: Project Management Experts vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to project management consulting, traditional experts typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and reputation. And when you’re already investing in project tools, the costs can quickly add up, especially for startups that need ongoing support.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a much more affordable and flexible solution. For just $99 per month, you get unlimited access to dozens of project management mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and unexpected charges for follow-up sessions.

Project Management Experts:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $100 to $200 per hour, depending on expertise and reputation.
  • Total Cost: For multiple sessions, costs can escalate, making it costly for startups and small businesses.

GrowthMentor:

  • Monthly Rate: $99 per month for unlimited sessions.
  • Flexibility: GrowthMentor allows you to connect with different mentors, rather than committing to an exclusive contract with an expert. You can learn from a diverse range of perspectives.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you’ll receive continuous, personalized guidance from experienced project management professionals, all without the hefty price tag. This means you’ll have more resources available to invest in your project success.

Why should I trust GrowthMentor’s mentors?

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.
