It very important to seek for a mentor.
It has been proven by research that a quality mentorship has a powerful positive effect on young entrepreneurs. Having someone who practically guides you and shares your worries with you often placating your fears with their years of experience keeps you reassured that you'll be successful.
When it comes to a young entrepreneur starting up a business, I'll say mentorship is very necessary for him to sit up and know what is needed to succeed through business. And not go into business with zero ideas on how to succeed. That is the kind of awful mistakes first time starters on business does that makes their business crash when it doesn't suppose to be.

The Bible says "my people perished because they lack knowledge" to start a business, you need someone that is in that business to put you through, guide and mentor you. Before I started my offline business, I went to a woman, who trained me and I choose her as my mentor since then.

Yes I seek advice and mentorship before starting any business venture, this is to ensure I am on he right track and don't take any wrong decisions. When I intend starting any business I look for someone who has vast experience in the field or area of business and I ask him to tutor me on the basics. Doing this coupled with my own research has never failed me in any business venture, this is the strategy I use and it has always worked for me.

Mentorship is very important not only in business but also in other aspects. Having a mentor hold your hand through the business planning and process helps mould the future of the business. There are some things that a business newbie may not know how to solve or tackle but a mentor will solve without even a second thought or breaking a sweat. A mentor can also help in getting the necessary connections needed.

In time of starting a business it is good to seek for a mentor the parson that can put you in the right way. Having a mentor in a business it very important and helpful to a beginner Inna business he may have a several orientation or trining on how to deal with some factors in the business.
Yeah, orientation for any business owner is very necessary especially the novice type that's just starting with his first business initiative on earth. They need experience, ideas, understanding about business in their first time starts. Many people you started business earlier without mentorship failed woefully today CLS they failed to learn the basics to start a business before going into it full-time.

yeah seeking mentorship before starting your business is great because it would make you to learn from a much experienced person who would prevent you from making mistakes he or she has already made there by making your learning progress much faster. Not that am saying individual learning is bad, it actually great to try to learn on your own but be prepared to fail multiple times .most people don't have high tolerance for failure,if they could fail once they give up.by seeking mentorship they are trying to learn from someone who has passed the path they are trying to pass and was successful so as to learn the successful full strategy from them.
Okay, you made some nice points. Seeking mentorship is good and wise. Nothing is bad when we rely solely on our intellectual ability to drive success to our business. We can still do that, but mentorship is advisable for people starting business for the first time. They need some tips, advise to keep going with their business. They are viewed as novice and lack some vital business ideas to take his or her business forward.

It is very good to seek mentorship from a seasoned and experienced businessman or woman before you embark on the business, this will save you a lot from mistakes they made when doing the business and succeeding in the business will be fast, this is because you already know what and how to go about the business.

Basically mentors act as guides because they've experienced what you are going to do or something similar to that. Having a mentor isn't a guarantee for business success, some people have mentors and still fail woefully in their business. Some people are to heady to have a mentor as they believe they no it all. Having a mentor especially for people with no experience is good.
Yeah, even with the mentor people still fail in their respective businesses. It depends too on the plan we have for it, the vision is there also to speak for us. Its not everything we learn from a business pro that will drive us business success. We need to add our own touch, idea to move together with what we learned from top business experts. Mentoring is good for those business novice to get underway with their business.
