Some people are simply too busy and will never be a mentor. They already have their mentees. Or they just don’t want to. That’s fine. But, that said, I have a technique here, which is to provide updates every three to four months. This has worked for me in about two or three cases where they have eventually gotten back in touch. One of those cases resulted in the sale of a company I started. Also, quantity is important because there is never just one thing you have been placed on this Earth to do. Life is a buffet and not a fixed-price meal. Speaking for myself, I like to sample.
