Support New Business Owners

After many years in small business I never fail to learn something new from other business owners that I meet. Since the world is changing it making business change along with it and no one person can keep up alone. You must exchange ideas and share new marketing methods or you will be left behind. Some of the old ways of doing business still work but new ideas need to be introduced and tested. Never turn your nose up at at a new idea until you see if it will work or not for your business.

One way to find new ideas is to mentor, train or help new entrepreneurs get their businesses going. Whether you charge a reasonable fee (which is OK) or speak to groups you will be surprised at the outcome. Not only will you assist them in getting a new business but you will also learn things from them that your never imagined. I love to help new businesses and both of us always benefit from the experience. Give back some of what you learned over the years and you will learn even more.
