When it comes to business not everyone seek mentorship before going on, to start it up. Some depend on their own vision and ideas to drive their own business achieving success. While some choose to attend seminars where they mentor them particularly about what to do to succeed in business. By inculcating that basic ideas through semi - formal education to them which will give them advantage ahead of venturing in the business field. Mentorship will help us advance better in our business through the orientation garnered from business pro's, experts etc. In order to manage our business the best possible way.
I believe the idea of starting a business or let me say the main goal is to make money, generate profit and course see the business expand over time. It will be a waste of time, effort and resources if you start a business that fails to meet it's set targets as listed above.
And the only way that can happen is if the business owner does not understand what it takes to achieve success in a chosen line of business.
As simple as some businesses appear, there are some hidden trade secrets that need to be learnt, and how do you learn if you don't subject yourself to apprenticeship to understudy an expert in that field.
It's just like reading and writing, you cam only learn how to read and write only if you submit yourself to be taught by a teacher.
So, apprenticeship is key. It can come in whatever form. But it is important to go through that period of learning.
