Advice everywhere, just ask!

On the Kiss Business website I've given a short summary of all the advice and tips we received during start-up of our company. One of the items is: ask around.

And ask anywhere: sound advice can be found everywhere, even (or especially) on Internet forums. Latest example I read (and contributed to) was on the DIY-not forum, filled with trade-persons who not only give out DIY tips, but also help out when business advice is asked for.

Advice, available for those who look for it, but even more so for those who ask for it.

Some very interesting points. One could probably have a blog dedicated to each of them.

The most important one for me has to be turning specialists into mentors, which sort of leads onto the asking around bit as well. I don't think my business would still be around today if it wasn't for other business owners sharing their experrience and more importantly really helping me out when it mattered. I owe a lot to a lot of people. (thats not me owing money by the way)
