Lauren Wilson is one of 300 mentees who've signed up for Business Link's mentorship pilot program. Wilson is looking to get help with her small online business, Wren Bakehouse.The goal is to help people starting up small businesses by allowing them to learn from others who have a few years of experience under their belts already.
"We actually have mentors and mentees from right across the province as well as here in Calgary, connecting." Once a mentor and mentee are matched, there is a 30-minute introductory meeting, allowing them to establish their objectives and discuss potential challenges. Wilson gets up at 3 a.m. four days a week to bake and a few other days to make deliveries and attend markets."I'm into this for the long haul and in order to be in it for the long haul, I have to be well-prepared and I have to plan," she said.Wilson's mentor has a small business in Banff.
