Greetings Fast Lane Team,
I am posting my first thread to both share some key links I have found throughout this great forum, and see if anyone has any resources on a few next steps suggested in this great content i have given links to at the bottom of my post to help re-share the stuff that is helping me.
I have been studying the path to business ownership via acquisition of an existing business, which would work well for my situation (Good amount of savings following an overseas 'slow lane' assignment, recently laid off, housewife and 3 y/o son, 36 y/o with industry experience) and I am struggling with one main thing. I need to find a mentor. Many suggest this is a key part of the journey and that you sometimes have to pay a mentor.
Does anybody have any suggestions regarding the best way to find a mentor via LinkedIn or other online means? The meetup networking is a little messed up right now with the COVID thing. (In my case focused on Acquisition Entrepreneurship)
Thanks!
And... the great suggestions here from other Fast Lane posters who I want to thank for pointing me in these directions. Thanks!
