A good advisor is someone who listens to your problems and can relate to what you are going through. A bad advisor is someone who thinks he or she can quickly step in and out of your situations and provide valuable strategic feedback w/o working side by side.

A bad mentor is someone who oversteps their experience and gives advice on something they don't know or assume that because they own a business they are suddenly business, marketing, strategy, experts. Experience doesn't make good, much less an expert. This is a huge fallacy we are currently dealing.

I have been a mentor for about 5 years now, consultant for 7 and entrepreneur for about 10, also have credentials in various industries from arts, engineering and masters in business. You can quickly point out the good from the bad.
