Not really. I had one offer from a guy in Ottawa that wanted to try tele-mentoring, but the negotiations sort of petered out. I have attended a couple of Pragmatic Studios and had one session with a local consultant.

The courses were helpful but are not really what I needed when I posted that original message. The consultant is a good guy but, again, not exactly what I need/desire.

This forum/mailing list provides much of the assistance that I obtain, albeit at little slower rate than what I desire. I am finding the Pragmatic Alumni mailing list helpful as well.

Lack of peer consultation is one of the big drawbacks working as a sole practitioner, but that circumstance is not likely to change so that I must accommodate it as best as I can.
