Find support for your startup
Starting a business can feel lonely and overwhelming. One of the most effective ways to move your business forward is to ask for help. Mentors, peers, competitors, suppliers, vendors, other business owners, business consultants and official business startup support organisations can all help you with developing your business regardless of what stage you are at in the startup cycle. Some statistics show that mentored startups grow 3.5 times faster and raise 7 times more money than non mentored startups. By not asking for help, you are slowing down your business progress. Simply asking for help is a powerful form of networking, and you will be amazed at the level of support that is out there once you push through your comfort zone and ask for help.
