With business consulting, the focus is more on short-term, task-based processes while business mentoring […]

It’s difficult to grow as an entrepreneur when you don’t have a mentor leading the way. Business is about making the right decisions and if you’re a neophyte in the game, you’re prone to errors and mistakes.
