You mentioned mentorship is not giving the tangible outcome/result hence users were repellent to pay for it but in my opinion, if we can create real value for a 1/2-1 hour session then users will pay for that. It took 1/2 hour for me to read this article (I take time to digest the thought:)). I believe this 1/2 hour is worth it and I am taking some golden learning points from this half-hour, I will surely pay for it. Having said that every user works on different psychology and it is hard to convince them before the session. We might work on how we can try to merge some tangible outcomes like giving some written summary of the sessions and recommendations to improve.
Some parents asked me "Why we will pay you for the mentorship sessions, you are just talking to my ward. How can we pay for just talking?". My answer is very simple you pay doctors just because they give you some health advice, they are also talking. It is their year of expertise and the value they have created for you while talking. We as a mentor are improving your future/career, the same way doctors improve your health.
Best mentorship is mostly free. Jordan mentoring Kobe, etc. Just asking people genuinely is all that is needed. Last year I joined 3AI mentorship for AI&Ml professionals. Paid 10k for the year. The 1/2 hr 1 hr session felt like therapy or visiting a doctor. No one wants to be at a doctors clinic for more than 30 minutes. Plus doctors prescribe meds which make me better. Mentors at times give knowledge which you have no way of knowing whether they implemented themselves or not. I have faced that people say big things and then don't return back in the promises they made.
This is gold🔥

Please correct me if I am wrong.
