Maybe I’m a little biased, but it seems to me any post about financial mentoring may find it worthwhile to examine my site financialmentor [dot] com.

I’ve tried to place some useful articles on the subject there.

Coincidentally, some of my coaching clients actually call me “Yoda”.

Hope it helps…

THanks Matt, I appreciate the kind words as well - we are pretty much all in this together its just that some of us have been at it a little longer... But like FMF mentioned, we all have stuff to learn from each other...ChristianPF’s last blog post..3 keys to safe and successful investing

Yoda rules! I want to do lunch soon, so I’ll work on getting a half day off sometime this month.

Good question Jeff! I suppose if they do not want to learn, then eventually they will be going hungry!

I think part of the circle of each our financial turnarounds is to both receive help when we are in need, and give when we’re able.

The online PF community is AWESOME like that!

I've read a bit about the importance of having a number of relationships. One is having a mentor, another would be having a peer, and a third would be mentoring someone.So, great post about your mentors. Its fascinating to read about where people first found inspiration and help. My question would be: who are your peers (help each other out) and who are you mentoring?Alan @ Saving For Serenity’s last blog post..The Ultimate List of Personal Finance Bloggers on Twitter

Good advice. I got really lucky by having a financial mentor in my late teens. Taught me all about the stock market so I hit the ground running in my early 20s.Matt SF’s last blog post..Weekend Reads: Stock Market Stuck in a Trading Range Edition

Mentoring can be extremely helpful in virtually all areas of life. I’ve been mentored by a man I’ve known half my life who really made a big difference for me spiritually. And I currently meet regularly with an accountability group. We encourage, challenge, advise and pray for one another.

Proverbs 27:17 -”As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

Good stuff Matt.

Thanks for your kind comments Matt, I appreciate it! As a somewhat established blogger, I enjoy helping others out because I know that if others hadn't helped me out when I started out, I wouldn't be where i am today. Bloggers like Bob at Christianpf.com, Larry at gatherlittlebylittle.com and a ton of others really helped me out a lot, linked to me, and gave me pointers. I think the PF blogosphere really thrives because there are so many willing to help like that.Keep up the good work, and pay it forward!Bible Money Matters’s last blog post..If You Were Strapped For Cash, How Far Would You Go To Make Money?

Great article about the importance of being and having a mentor.

A couple people who have gone out of their way to have that sort of relationship with me are:

Jonathan Mead from IlluminatedMind.net (and Zen Habits)

and

Jim Wang from Bargaineering.com

These guys had no big motivation to help me out, but went out of their way to. It’s an awesome feeling that I hope to be able to pass along in the near future!
