Start-Up Series: Business Coaches And Mentors

Entrepreneurs, by their nature, prefer going it alone. Listening to others tell them what can or can't be done just isn't part of their DNA-that's why they hung out their own shingle in the first place. Still, even the most self-assured and independent-minded small business owner can look for a little outside guidance, a simple sounding board, or maybe just a bit of 'been there, done that'-type wisdom at times. That's when a business coach or mentor can be of help.
