Finding Mentors
In building a company, it can be intimidating to think that you have to be the expert, or at least come up with the right answers, for all the new challenges you face every day. Luckily, though, the good news is that you do not have to struggle to be that expert. Instead, you can call on real experts — people who have already solved the problem you face — and ask for the benefit of their guidance. You can find mentors to help you along the way.
Brian Scudamore, Founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, calls mentors “the best education money can’t buy.” He strongly believes that everyone should experience the mentoring relationship from both sides — as the person receiving advice and as the person giving it. In this session, he shares tips for finding
and working with mentors.
Outsourcing to Streamline Your Business
Outsourcing — using outside firms to handle work normally performed within a company — is a familiar concept to many entrepreneurs. When you choose the appropriate functions to outsource, you can streamline your business. You might even gain the advantage over your competitors.
In this session, David Hauser, Chief Technology Officer of GotVMail, provides tips on how to get started outsourcing. You will identify benefits your company could derive from outsourcing, as well as functions in your company that could be outsourced.
