Are you a career professional who would like to mentor others?

Good morning,
Yesterday I shared why so many experienced professionals are rethinking what they want their next decade to look like — and why a portable, advisory-based income has become such an attractive option.
Today, I want to slow things down a bit and ask a simpler question.
Are you someone who enjoys helping others think more clearly, avoid mistakes, or move forward with more confidence?
If so, you may already be doing informal mentoring without realizing it.
Colleagues come to you for perspective.
Friends ask, “Can I run something by you?”
People value your judgment because you’ve been around the block a few times.
That’s not accidental.
That’s experience.
And when it’s structured correctly, that experience can become the foundation of a portable income built around advising, mentoring, coaching, consulting, or guiding others — without reinventing yourself or starting from scratch.
What This Is (And Isn’t)
The private mentoring work I do through Barefoot Brain is not about hype, funnels, or chasing trends.
It’s about helping seasoned professionals:
Identify what they already know that others would gladly pay for
Clarify who they are best suited to help
Design a simple, ethical, advisory-based income model
Build confidence around offering their expertise — without feeling salesy
This isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” program.
It’s personalized, private mentoring — which is why I only work with a very small number of people at any given time.
Why an Application Comes First
Because this is paid, one-on-one mentoring, the first step is a short application.
Not to test you.
Not to judge you.
But to see whether a private mentoring conversation would actually be useful — for both of us.
Many people tell me the application itself helps them:
Clarify what they want next
See their experience differently
Realize they’re more prepared than they thought
Your Next Step (If This Resonates)
If you’re curious — even quietly curious — I encourage you to complete the application.
It takes about 5 minutes, and there’s no obligation beyond that.
You’ll hear back from me after I’ve had a chance to review your responses.
Talk soon,

P.S. You don’t need to have everything figured out before applying. Clarity often comes through the conversation, not before it.
