Paying For Mentorship

[waverider85]

Hi, I would like to seek opinions if its a good idea to pay $5k for a 2 day course on entrepreneurship. The mentor is a successful businessman with more than 20 yrs and a track record in entrepreneurship and the course will be based on advice for start-ups, business idea generation and assessment. To top it up, students are able to network with other business owners and have follow up consultation with the mentor on their business progress. I see the value in the networking opportunities but is wondering if its better to seek mentorship after when I get a business running as currently, I have no business ideas off my mind yet just the interest to explore though the course is open to non-business owners as well. Would appreciate if anyone can advise the best way to maximize the help of a business mentor and if its a good idea to seek a mentor before starting a business? Thanks
