I was talking to a young entrepreneur yesterday that I mentor and it got me thinking about when I started my first business and how valuable it would have been to have someone to ask questions. I wonder how many mistakes I could have avoided by having someone to ask advice.

Between managing a business, blogging, marketing and social media many have no idea how complicated it all is. Having a mentor is the fast path to learning and can make sure you are focused on what should be your priorities. Without experience, it is too easy to end up constantly busy - but not with what will make a difference financially.

As a long time mentor of small businesses and bloggers, our challenge is to make it easier for those who need a mentor to find us. Those needing a place to start can ask me in live chat at socialimplications.com.
