A global survey showcases that Gen Z and millennials are more inclined to entrepreneurship compared to their older counterparts. However, these young entrepreneurs often face the barrier of limited access to mentorship, which is critical for their development. The author, sharing personal experiences as a mentor, emphasizes how guiding emerging entrepreneurs not only aids those in need but also enriches the mentor's own journey. By challenging conventional career narratives and sharing knowledge of current marketing and business trends, mentors foster innovation and growth in both parties involved.
Global survey respondents indicated that Gen Z (40%) and millennials (41%) are more optimistic about their entrepreneurial pursuits and are significantly more likely to engage in side hustles or run small businesses.
Despite their drive, most of these young underserved entrepreneurs lack access to mentorship, a crucial resource that can provide guidance and support during the early stages of their journey.
I always challenge the traditional narrative of getting good grades, going to college and working for someone else. I believe that people who are driven, resourceful and autodidactic have a huge advantage.
What started as a teaching journey has turned into a transformative learning experience where both mentor and mentee benefit.
