As the new year begins, so do new resolutions. We want to do more, be better, and strive for higher. For entrepreneurs, the most prominent resolution is for their companies to grow and succeed. One of the best ways to wade through the crazy ups and downs of being an entrepreneur is to partner with someone who’s done it before. At the Village, we have a team of amazing, successful professionals who’ve lived through the stresses and joys of starting their own businesses serving as Mentors and Advisors. They choose to pay it forward and volunteer to share their knowledge and experiences with our members.Geoff Wilson is a Village Mentor.
