If you google mentorship you can read hundreds of articles about why you ‘need’ a mentor to survive in your career— particularly in entrepreneurship. I am, by no means,

A mentor is defined as an experienced and trusted adviser. To go further, mentorship is considered guidance provided by an experienced person in the field or in an adjacent industry.
