A mentor is one who puts you through and acts as a sort of guide, especially as a beginner in a particular filed or sector, a mentor is a teacher. Do you think a business owner can actually run a business without the help of a mentor?
 
A mentor can be an incredible asset for anyone starting or running a business because they provide guidance, perspective, and lessons learned from their own experience. Having someone to lean on, especially in the early stages, can help you avoid common mistakes, make better decisions, and grow faster. A mentor often acts as a sounding board, offering advice not just on strategy but also on mindset, resilience, and leadership. For beginners, that kind of support can feel almost essential.
That said, it is possible to run a business without a mentor. Many entrepreneurs have built successful ventures by relying on self-education, trial and error, and sheer determination. With the wealth of resources available today books, online courses, podcasts, communities, and even AI tools business owners have more opportunities than ever to learn and adapt on their own. The challenge, however, is that this path often takes longer and involves more mistakes along the way.
 
If the entrepreneur or owner of a business is self motivated, s(he) can learn from a lot of resources out there. It is nice to have a mentor, but I believe that if the owner is smart and hard working, s(he) can run a business without a mentor.

True, but don't you think a mentor would be able to give the entrepreneur practical and straight to the point lessons and experience?

I think that depends on the background of the mentor. If s(he) has experience in startup business, s(he) may offer good advice.

Yes you are right though if the mentor has the experience, they will definitely be a major help to the mentee over time.
 
There is not a single formula for success of business. Having a good mentor is a big asset. You have someone to guide you with his experience. And they can stop you from making some mistakes that they would have made. They can also provide tips at right times. And you have someone to seek advices and share things, that would be a big emotional support.
But having a mentor is not an assurance of success or a necessity of business. Many successful businessmen have no mentor. They might have some inspirations though but not a mentor who is easily accessible.
