If you are sick of the corporate grind, take your favorite idea or hobby, and join other happy entrepreneurs. Stay rooted in the present. Marty Zwilling.

In my role as a mentor to business professionals and entrepreneurs over the years, I have found that it’s important to take a hard look at the relationships around you on a regular basis.

Most entrepreneurs see their new venture as a fun adventure, until the pressures of a cash flow crisis, or a manufacturing quality problem, or a major customer satisfaction problem hits. Even with all my years of experience mentoring in business, I can’t predict how you will prepare for and react to pressure situations.

Most of you aspiring entrepreneurs have no idea how dramatically your own role has to evolve as you develop a solution, start a business, and expect it to scale into a successful self-managed company. At this stage, I typically find a solo entrepreneur who creates, manages projects, directs, and oversees every step in the process.

Many entrepreneurs and small businesses I know are struggling with business-threatening issues, but are reluctant to seek any assistance. Most people get a tremendous satisfaction from helping others, but are equally afraid to offer without being asked. No advisor or mentor is a mind reader, and most don’t want to impose.

Every entrepreneur I meet in my role as a small business advisor dreams of making the business run like clockwork, even without them. Frankly, I’ve never been sure what to tell entrepreneurs who want to break free of these bonds. Use mentoring to help people develop as your business develops. Some are just stuck.

Every business executive and entrepreneur I know believes they are good or even great leaders, but as an advisor I often hear a different story from their team. This may seem counter-intuitive to many managers who fear losing their best employees, since managers never seem to have time to focus on recruiting and mentoring new talent.
