Branson Centre Mentorship

Hi All!

After going through and completing their selection process, I was selected as a (Sir Richard) Branson Centre Mentor. Today's the big day when I meet the entrepreneur that I'm to work with. I was initially told I was in, then the Centre was flooded with mentor applications. The process was reopened and I had to interview in addition to filing an application. Not happy, hadn't had to interview in many years. Apparently, I did okay. I will met my entrepreneur this morning. Here's a short video in the Centre in Jamaica.


 Looking back to when I started my business I wish I had better information on all the costs of starting up . You know those times when you don't know what you don't know. Smile. What are some of the things you would like to have known when you were just starting on your journey as an entrepreneur?

Good News: I'm A Branson Centre Mentor

Hi All!

I've been honored to be selected as a mentor for the (Sir Richard) Branson Centre for Entrepreneurship. I'm pleased as punch to have been selected and look forward to having a mentee assigned to me. I was contacted about being a mentor and filled out the application not quite knowing what to expect since my mentee will be in Jamaica. Yes, I have been to Jamaica. I thought about the seminars, speaking engagements, advice and mentoring I have done in the past and decided to go ahead with the process. I plan to play it forward and hope to be as beneficial to my mentee as others have been to me.



The First Branson Centre for Entrepreneurship was founded in 2005 in South Africa. The video below showcases what the Centre in South Africa has been able to accomplish.



 Thinking back to when you first started your business what would your present self advise your start-up self to prepare them for running a business. Kindly leave a comment sharing your pearls of wisdom. If you like this info please share through your social media. 

Thanks, 
Michelle
