Some of you may know be my now, i'm 15 years old, I've already got down an in depth business plan for my near future. I'm setting up to launch within the next few weeks.

But then i thought, hey, there is a lot of people on this website who have already become successful, and sure I've gone through countless forums getting info together to better help my cause. But is it time to maybe set up something a bit more formal? Is it at all necessary for me to be an apprentice of sorts, to get a mentor? Could it be crucial?

These are all questions i have, what i'm trying to do is set myself up for minimal failure, sure a little bit of downward motion is good for learning, but maybe i'd be better off not risking the complete downfall of my first attempt at business. A big part of success is preparation.


So the big question.

Mentor or not?
