The Power of Mentoring on Entrepreneurial Success (Video)
Advice on How to Find & Leverage Mentors as an Entrepreneur
Last week I was invited to participate in a #FiresideChat organized by Alysia Silberg, Co-Founder and COO of Acceleforce. The May 4th discussion focused on the power of mentoring on entrepreneurial success. I was joined by an outstanding panel of inspiring entrepreneurs, mentors, and business leaders from across the globe. I thoroughly appreciated the insights that were shared and I wanted to share the remarks with all of you. Before I forget, members of the panel included:
Peter Andrew Sacco (@PeterAndrewSacc) — Author & Psychology Professor
Nancy Melone (@NancyMelone) — Entrepreneur, Risk Taker, and People Specialist
Chris Lewis (@christheeagle1) — Former Business Consult, Activist, and Motivator Extraordinaire
Genen Gengiah — Experienced Banker, Leader, and Innovator
Japheth Ondiek (@2jaff) — Serial Entrepreneur and Investor in a Transport Solutions Business
Some guy named Earnest Sweat (@earnestsweat)
And Moderated by Alysia Silberg (@StepUpTF) — Self-driven Serial Entrepreneur, strategist, mentor, and keynote speaker
Definitely, take the time to listen to or watch the video below. There are some great pointers on issues such as finding the right mentor, leveraging your mentor’s expertise, and how to create a mutually beneficial mentor/founder partnership.
Thanks again to Alysia and the Acceleforce team for inviting me to participate even though I had to join late due to scheduling issues. (Note I join the conversation around the 40-minute mark). For information on the next #FiresideChat please see follow Alysia on twitter @StepUpTF. Enjoy!
