Build your personal board of directors.

Do you have a mentor? If so, that’s great. A one-to-one relationship with a more experienced business person can be very helpful. Now, imagine what it would be like to have a group of people, a personal board of directors, willing to help when you have to make tough decisions. Nurture relationships with people whose perspectives you respect and call them for advice when you need it. Just remember, the decisions are yours, but you can improve results with input from people who’ve been there, done that.
