What Makes a Great Mentor or Advisor?

I get (and give) business advice all the time. Ultimately I find common threads that resonate with me - and that is the way I go. Even then though, the advice isn`t always great.
How do you find great advisors and mentors? And how do you separate the good advice from the bad?

For example, I would always listen to business advice given by a person who had successfully operated one or more businesses in the past. (I may not agree with or follow that advice, but I would at least listen to it.). Along the same lines, I would be much more inclined to take personal fitness advice from someone who was in great shape rather than from someone who was 100 pounds overweight.
I also think that different people have different styles of doing things. Advice coming from someone who has a radically different style than your own can be extremely difficult to implement. Telling a pig that it needs to swim like a duck generally never works.

us for few minutes and gives us some advice and those words helps us
to be positive and also helps us to achieve what we want... I guess
gut feeling plays a very critical role... if u believe in the person
who is giving u advice... m sure there are more chances of u
following his words...
