Mentorship is about as basic and as important as a hammer is to a carpenter, or even a handyman. What you are offering is that very guidance and expertise those of us who are getting started with our own businesses desperately need. We have novel ideas as well as innovative products and services. Few of us, however, have the knowledge to take our ideas to the next level and to put our dreams into action. Thanks to people like you, a lot of folks are going to start thriving instead of just surviving. The amount of knowledge you have to impart from all those years of experience is truly priceless. As for the turtle on the road, I don't think one has to be a turtle lover to do the right thing, and I applaud you for your compassion.
