Having a business mentor is one of the most valuable investments you can make.

According to a survey by SCORE, small businesses that received mentoring increased their revenues by an average of 83%.

The guidance that a mentor gives can be the difference between a misstep and a masterstroke.

They provide invaluable insights—lessons learned from experience that aren't found in textbooks.

They also challenge assumptions, offer objective feedback, and broaden one's network.
