About 8 years ago I decided to retire from a 26-year career in surgical device sales and management. For roughly 12 months, I enjoyed my life – spending time with my family, doing things I’d never gotten around to and improving my health. But after a year of relaxing and recharging, I asked myself, “What’s next?” I needed a purpose and wanted to help others.Thinking about my Baby Boomer neighbors, friends and acquaintances who were also asking themselves “What’s next?” I realized it would be great if people with years of experience had a website where they could post their expertise and offer to share it with others. MyMentorAdvisor.com was officially launched in April 2013.To become a MentorAdvisor (cost: $9.95 a month, $25 a quarter or $80 a year), you enter your background information, areas of expertise, contact information and – if you want – your resumé and picture.To confirm your expertise, you must provide recommendations from three people with first-hand knowledge of it. You can also, at your discretion, charge a fee, which may be listed as hourly or negotiable.Someone looking for a mentor clicks on “Find a Mentor” and can search the site’s listings by Name, Category and/or State; there’s no fee to do this.Once a match has been made, the two people decide how they want to meet and how often. You could mentor someone in person, by phone or through video chats.If you or someone you know are interested in reaching out to share your life learned expertise, please go to MyMentorAdvisor.com and register as a MentorAdvisor. Also, please share MyMentorAdvisor.com with your contacts.MyMentorAdvisor.com is about "People Helping People!"
