I've had the following conversation. It was frustrating.
Me: You're better than me at X. I've put a lot of effort into X and would like to be better, but I've done all I think I can on my own. Can you help me?
Someone I know: Sorry, I don't have time to take on an apprentice right now. Come back when you're closer to being a peer, then we can work together.
Me: Sigh...
Well, you want something (likely, considerable effort) from another person. What are you offering in exchange?
Perhaps they are worried that in many apprentice/master relationships, the master gets out less than she puts in. Consider making it worth their while (I don't necessarily mean money) -- people do not owe you energy.
