Get yourself a PRIME mentor in Bristol
Listen to this item
If you’re over 50 and thinking about starting a business in the Bristol area, then contact PRIME about getting a mentor. PRIME has recently completed training mentors in the area, who are now ready to talk to you. This is a completely free programme.
Here’s what Harri Harrison, who is running the scheme, has to say about it:
PRIME mentoring is specifically for people aged 50+ who are just beginning to think about setting up their own business. It is about exploring initial thoughts around self-employment. It is an opportunity to have a soundingboard, to check ideas and to discover the best way of moving forward.
Somebody once described this as having ‘a critical friend’ - that’s probably a good description.
We think mentoring is most useful for people at the early stage - when thay are are just starting to think about setting up in business. But mentoring has also been used successfully in many walks of life, and is an increasingly popular learning method for personal, professional and business development.
Mentoring is popular in the business world, where talking to a mentor can be helpful to entrepreneurs as they prepare their business plans, or it help more established businesses to progress.
