Building a Team of Mentors

As an entrepreneur, one of the best pieces of advice I hear constantly is to "get a mentor".  When I look back on my time as a W-2 earner, I thought having a mentor was important when moving through the ranks of a company.  So, why would I need a mentor as an entrepreneur?  After all, I am my own boss, right?  I have my own company and that means I am doing something right.  Right?  Maybe, maybe not. I asked myself the following questions before building my team of mentors:
 
▪  Is my phone ringing with new business?
▪  Am I attracting serious clients?
▪  Is my revenue steady and constant?
▪  Am I trying out new ideas?
▪ Is my business growing?
 
Well you guessed it.  The answer is "No" to all of the above.   I simply did not have "personal mentors" so I did the next best thing.  I developed an amazing team of "on-line" mentors, many of whom I will be sharing with you here in my blog space from time to time.  There will not be an elaborate intro but a title accompanied by a one-liner giving you some insight into what will be discussed.  I hope you benefit as much as I have.  Until next time...
