Lesson 5: Mentors
Mentors can provide insight, shortcuts, and moral support to anyone in business. While most large companies have mentoring programs, it can be difficult for someone just starting their own business to find one. By attending networking events, participating in forums and other social media conversations, and asking friends and family for advice, you can create your own “mentor system.” And if you’re already in the know, give back and mentor someone and continue the cycle. It never hurts to have a second pair of eyes and ears in any endeavor.
