As a novice, you can't compare the knowledge you have in a business to that of someone that has been 30 years in the business. It is only pride that would make someone not to submit and learn from such a wealth of experience.I personally don't believe in the power of mentorship in business success. I however believe in myself and the knowledge I have about the business. I can never run a business that I don't know it's ins and Outs.
