How entrepreneurs can prepare before we start
1) Identify their objects of the mentorship. Is it for being able to start the business?, to understand the global trends?, to develop their products/ services?,. etc. 2) Be prepared to ask for specific advice on their skill sets, ideas, plans, and goals.
