Q&A with Jean-Marc Freuler:

What is the best way for a teenage entrepreneur to go about finding a mentor?

Human beings have a natural willingness to help, so just ask them. Everyone has asked for help at some point in their lives. Surround yourself with people that believe in you. These individuals that believe in you are your advocates. Ask them for introductions to individuals you think can help your company succeed. Once you find your mentor, prove that you can listen to his/her advice.
