#ExpedionBusiness aims to provide a ‘Wisdom from the Firepit’ experience.
If you are lucky enough to have a grandfather or father that could share their business adventures ‘around the firepit’, your chances of being an equally successful entrepreneur increase exponentially.
Or if you have a formal mentor or business coach, you are a very fortunate entrepreneur. Unfortunately, the majority of enthusiastic aspiring entrepreneurs or even existing entrepreneurs do not have that luxury at hand.
If you add to this equation that our economy’s strength is directly parallel to the strength of its entrepreneurs, the importance of providing mentors to our aspiring entrepreneurs becomes even more important.
