Being an owner or leader of a small business can be a lonely life
We all need to talk and seek support sometimes
Research says we ask family, friends and sometimes business contacts for support and ideas
We rarely ask the experts
We expect that as business owners we should be able to do most things
Asking for help may be seen as a weakness
Experts may be expensive and take advantage without delivering added value
We can’t afford it
At the core is Peer Mentoring
Peer mentoring is a relationship between people who are at the same career stage or age, in which one person has more experience than the other in a particular domain and can provide support as well as knowledge and skills transfer. Peer mentoring may be a one-on-one relationship or experienced in a group.
