I've had good luck finding mentors by accident. Mostly, I'll e-mail someone who I would want to be a mentor with an off handed comment about how they can improve something they are doing and then we'll get an e-mail thread going. Eventually, they'll ask, "So what are you doing?" and then you'll show/tell them and they start to mentor you. I suspect this is how mentoring works for others. Every single person I would call a mentor, I've approached to help them in some way. There is only one exception to this, but he and I shared a common group of associates already so he was just paying it forward.
