Love the flow chart!
I have a similar setup that i use when i am in need, depending on what the problem is...etc
1. Mentor - I have a business/career mentor that I am very close with, he was a manager I had years ago but still keep in touch with. We've become good friends but I look to him for advice and coaching on all aspects of life but leave the trivial stuff to my friends and others. He is brilliant man who i would not waste his time.
2. Friends - different friends for different problems...
3. Girlfriend - she is an amazing women and i use her more for venting than problem solving. she is so level headed and direct it helps me understand when i am confused...which is often.
I have to admit that i am that person for most of my close friends who value (i hope?) my opinions and ideas. I think mostly because i am good listener.
