## FAQs

 How do I know which program is right for me?

If you’re unsure which program fits your business, book a [**Discovery Call**](https://meetings.hubspot.com/cleanjack/mentorship-discovery?uuid=738df2ca-81a9-4330-bdb5-499b4c508885), and we’ll guide you to the best choice based on your current stage and goals.

 

 What if I'm not sure I can commit the full time?

The Base Camp Training Program is a great place to start. You'll get access to all the content upfront and you can work through as your schedule allows.

 I need the accountability and someone pushing me through, but what if I miss a lesson?

If you're part of North Star or Ascent and you have to miss a live session, the materials and the recording of the call will be available to you! Try not to miss much though, because the connection with the Mentors and Peers are what really makes this program stand out. 

 Can I switch to another mentorship program after I've already started?

Yes, if you find that another mentorship program better suits your needs later on, we can help you transition.

 Are payments refundable?

Payments are non-refundable. But, you can cancel at any time and not renew. 

 How can I maximize my investment?

Most business coaching/training qualifies as a tax deductible expense. Ask your accountant or tax advisor to take advantage of the potential benefit.
