If you are a novice in setting up an online business, then what you need is a good mentor to guide you. Some people good at mentoring others while other people are, let just say, good at executing their ideas and strategies themselves.
Obviously, you should go for those who are strong at mentoring others. Even for the good mentors, individually they possess different styles too. Some concentrate on giving you the concepts and big picture, some talk a lot, some guide you step by step till the tiniest details, some are scholarly, some are street smart. None of these style is good or bad. What you need is to identify which mentor style suits you better.
For example for me, I do not prefer guessing work, as it can go 1001 ways right? So a mentor who is meticulous and provides step-by-step instructions works best for me. Another person may not like this style as its slow his progress and hinders his creativity. Hence, a good mentor to me may not be a good mentor to another.
What about you? Which mentor style do you prefer?
