One of the biggest challenges in starting a business is putting your ego aside and taking advice. Successful startups all have one thing in common--trusted advisors and mentors. Whether it's a formalized board or a casual coffee chat once a month, gathering sound advice and having the faith to follow it can help accelerate your business in ways you never imagined. During this program hear why and how you should consider mentorship or an advisory board.
