As an entrepreneur, there are always obstacles in the road, things holding us back, making us swerve and risk heading off into a ditch.

Much about being competitive in today's business is having the ability to steer away, to avoid running into those boulders that seem to fall into the middle of our paths.

However...that's assuming that we're actually moving forward. That we're on the road. The truth is, that for many entrepreneurs, the greatest difficulty is just getting started.

Join Michael and Jim as they explain how to overcome the difficulty of getting started.

There are few things more exhilarating and frightening than building a business from scratch.

Starting a business, keeping your doors open, battling the storms, and defending yourself constantly from your own delusion...is not easy.

In fact, it will probably be the most difficult thing you've ever done in your life. And, often it will seem like it's taken you four lifetimes to get to where you want to go. And that's only if you get there!

Yet, it doesn't have to be impossible. And, it doesn't have to be as difficult as we often make it.

Join Michael and Jim as they share keen insights into how to build a business the right way. Or how to rebuild yours if it could use some new inspiration.

If you examine the backstory of any successful leader, you'll discover they have their own list of "Most Valuable People" of sorts, and that's influencers in their lives who were always in their corner, who cared about them, and invested in their future.

We call those people mentors. They often are in the background, and unknown to many, but they are essential to the development and success of leaders.

This is why it's so important to surround yourself by the right influences as you grow in your role.

But, how do you go about choosing an excellent mentor? How do you go about selecting someone who you can mentor?

Join Michael and Jim as they explore the extraordinary value and pathway of being mentored, and being a mentor.
