Sometimes when you are in business for yourself and you have no business partners, you often feel alone. Making all the decisions for your business is both Awesome and Scary. The right choices can mean success and the wrong choices can mean failure.
So even if you are the sole owner of your business, you still need people to help you along the way. People that you can learn from, someone that can be your guide.
