Mentoring Agreement: Entrepreneurial Communication Path

1. Purpose of the Engagement
This mentoring engagement is designed to support focused development within the Entrepreneurial Communication Path. The work emphasizes building independent capability in outward communication, so the participant can plan, draft, and communicate their work clearly in the marketplace without ongoing reliance on the mentor for execution.

This Path has a specific developmental intent and a natural completion point. The structure exists to support momentum, responsibility, and integration.

2. Path Engagement Window
The Entrepreneurial Communication Path is entered with a defined engagement window.
The standard engagement window for this Path is six (6) months from the start date.
This window is intended to provide sufficient time for depth and integration while encouraging consistent forward movement. Sessions, materials, and guidance are provided within this window.

The engagement window does not pause or extend automatically due to scheduling delays, personal circumstances, or periods of inactivity.

3. Sessions and Cadence
Mentoring sessions are delivered within the defined engagement window and scheduled according to the needs of the Path and the participant’s stage of application.

Sessions typically run 30–60 minutes and are scheduled twice per week for most of the Path, with some phases meeting once per week when integration or practical scheduling requires it.

The Path does not include unlimited access, on-demand consultation, or open-ended availability. Communication between sessions is limited to agreed-upon channels and scope.

Sessions are intended to support focused development of leadership in communication within the engagement window. Time not used within that window does not roll forward indefinitely.

This structure is intentional and supports clarity, focus, and mutual respect for time and attention.

4. Participant Responsibility
Progress within the Path depends on the participant’s active engagement.

This includes:

• attending scheduled sessions,

• completing agreed-upon reflection or application work,

• making decisions and taking ownership of implementation.

Mentoring provides guidance, perspective, and structure. It does not replace personal responsibility, decision-making, or execution of communication tasks outside of session time.

5. Completion of the Path
This Path concludes when its core objectives and phases have been addressed, or when the engagement window has ended, whichever occurs first.

Completion does not require perfect execution, finished systems in every context, or the absence of future refinement. Communication capability continues to evolve; the Path concludes when the foundational skills and structures have been established.

Completion marks a transition point. Any continuation beyond the Path is addressed separately, as described in Item 6.

6. Continuation Beyond the Path  
Ongoing work beyond the Path is available separately and is not included in the Path engagement.

Post-Path options may include:

• individual consultation sessions, or

• a limited monthly advisory arrangement.

These options are offered as needed and agreed upon independently, based on fit and availability at the time.

7. Scope and Boundaries
This mentoring engagement is professional and developmental in nature.
It is not a done-for-you marketing service, copywriting retainer, or substitute for agency execution.

Both parties agree to maintain clear, respectful boundaries and to communicate directly if questions or concerns arise regarding scope, expectations, or responsibility.

8. Mutual Respect and Good Faith
This agreement is grounded in mutual respect, honesty, and good-faith participation.

Either party may conclude the engagement if it becomes clear, through reasonable communication, that the Path is no longer appropriate or that continued participation would not be productive. Fees already paid are non-refundable. Termination does not invalidate obligations related to confidentiality or respectful conduct.

9. Confidentiality
I agree to treat all personal and professional information shared during our work together as confidential. I will not disclose identifying details or private matters without prior consent, except where required by law or where there is a reasonable concern for safety.

10. Fees and Acceptance
The fee for participation in the Entrepreneurial Communication Path is USD $6,000.

This fee covers the defined engagement window, mentoring sessions delivered within that window, and supporting materials as described in this agreement.

Payment is made electronically via the payment method provided separately.

Participation in the Path is confirmed upon written acceptance of this agreement and receipt of payment.
