To benefit from mentoring, fledgling entrepreneurs should be honest with their advisers about business issues such as cash flow; seek out mentors with similar values, personality or interests; and develop trust through frequent meetings, says a study based on a survey of almost 400 protégés (E. St-Jean Int. J. Training Dev. 16, 200–216; 2012). Entrepreneurs who achieve good relationships with their mentors can build management knowledge and skills and improve their visions for their companies, says author Étienne St-Jean, who studies business management at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières in Canada.
