This January marks the 19th annual celebration of National Mentoring Month, and it’s no secret that we are strong advocates for business mentorship.
There is power behind mentoring and research demonstrates that guided experience share between new business owners and experienced business owners improves business, social and economic prospects, which ultimately strengthens the community.
While National Mentoring Month primarily focuses on the impact that volunteer mentors can have in helping youth reach their potential, it also extends to the business world. An experienced business mentor can help entrepreneurs navigate the unpredictable terrain of starting and growing a business.
Mentors accomplish what books cannot: connection, support, and an invaluable source of personal experiences that include big wins, learning opportunities and development.
Rather than having you sit down and spill out mismatched thoughts, a mentor will guide you through your thoughts by asking the right questions, helping to develop a roadmap for your business while pinpointing potential at risk areas and highlighting possible opportunities.
Do you have a business idea that you want to bring to life? Our Business Plan Roadmap is a great document to help you get started.
Ready for the next step? Let BluePrint Strategy review your Business Plan. We'll ask you the right questions, provide a written analysis, and highlight recommended changes.
