A mentor refers to a person who helps you develop your business idea and support your startup. An entrepreneur takes the initiative to start a business or at least take an active part in running an existing business. Finding an entrepreneurship mentor can be one of the most challenging things you should do when starting your business. Most people will not know where to look for such a person, but some places can help you find a mentor. These places include the following.

1. On Twitter

You will often find entrepreneurship experts on Twitter. These people have a lot of experience in the field, and some of them are willing to share their knowledge with you for free. You can also ask them for advice if you are stuck in a particular business area. And if they agree to help you, they will share their knowledge with you and guide you through starting a business.

2. On Facebook

A business is not a one-person job, so there must be other people who can help the entrepreneur out when they need it. An excellent place to look for these people is on Facebook. There are lots of groups where these people gather together and discuss different topics related to starting up a business and how to run one successfully. You can join these groups and participate in the discussions that go on there, which will give you tips on how to start your business.

3. On LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a social network that is used by a lot of people, including entrepreneurs. You can look for other people on this platform and ask them how they started their business and developed it into today's success. This is the best place to find a mentor if you need advice.

4. On Meetups

Meetups are events where entrepreneurs discuss different topics related to starting up a business or growing one successfully. You can get advice from experienced people and learn from their mistakes and successes in the business world when you go to these events.

There are a lot of different places you can go to for advice on starting up a business. The best thing is that these sources give you advice from different people who have been in your shoes and have learned from their mistakes and successes. By using these different sources, you will get the best entrepreneurship mentor.

Joe graduated from Seton Hall University with a Bachelor of Arts in Finance. He began his career on the New York Mercantile Exchange floor, working for ED&F Man.

In addition to his work, Joe Kelly’s other great passion is the sport of rugby. In addition to the mental and physiological benefits, Joe sees it as a sport that shares many of the same rules as business. When OTC Global Holdings formed their first international office in London, Joe relocated and was instantly smitten by the spirit of the sport and the guiding principles of the game. Unlike American football, rugby has a lack of physical support for players, making communication and synergy all the more invaluable. Much like in business, everybody has an important role to play, not just for the protection and success of their teammates but for the club as a whole. Visit his websites to learn more!
