In business, the line between success and failure is often paper-thin. The more you learn from those who’ve walked both sides of that line, the better your chances are of staying on the right side of it. A significant challenge for a new business owner or someone who has a vision is pulling together all of the information needed for those initial first steps and preparing for long-term success.

Iraqi Canadian Chamber of Commerce is offering industry-leading mentoring expertise through Iraq Future Program. The program will share resources and skill-building opportunities to take you and your business to the next level. A recent survey by IraqCanadaCham finance department, and technology section. revealed that 89% of small business owners in Canada acknowledge the impact of mentors on their businesses’ long-term viability. Yet nearly two-thirds of owners lack any professional guidance when launching their businesses.

Mentors have usually seen it all during their business careers, and can provide an invaluable sounding board for those dipping a toe into entrepreneurial waters. Sharing knowledge is a major part of this. As mentorship increases, more startups will launch with access to knowledge and expertise that the startups of earlier generations lacked. This makes for a better-informed startup community and one that is less likely to make the mistakes of those that came before
