America loves small business, and from April 29 to May 5, America observes “Small Business Week,” dedicated to recognizing the best small-business owners and entrepreneurs.

It can also be a solitary job, with the stress of payroll, clients and decisions about next steps all on you. One of the best ways to help yourself, and your business, is to get a business mentor, someone who has been there and done that to be your support.
