Business mentors for the savvy peace builder are just as important for the development of long-term success as are other elements of building a project.
No peace builder can truly “go it alone” but too many get trapped in silos, or behind clients, believing that they will just “learn the building of a business on the fly.”
This never works.
Our recommendation: Design a personal Board of Directors. This should consist primarily of professionals with industry experience who have no emotional investment in the success or failure of your venture.
Then, meet with them once a month (at minimum) and treat them to coffee. Listen to their ideas and expertise, but also keep your own council.
A great resource to begin this process (that’s free) is your local chapter of SCORE (link here).
