As a young businessman I am aware that I am very inexperienced in general business.

Having never worked for anybody on a full-time basis I also have little idea of what employment means and how the set-up operates.

I am sometimes lost for motivation and inspiration, I am interested to find what others do when in this situation. I realise that it will be difficult to make a real success of myself without being able to manage others effectively.

What I am eager to do is to observe, assist (get hands on if possible) and hopefully learn from a few different business people.
I am interested to learn from people in all sorts of business. I like to have a thorough understanding of how and why, and I am likely to question based on this.

I am not able to pay for this pleasure and would not expect or accept any payment in return.

If you think this would also be interesting for you, then perhaps we could arrange something.

Regards,

Chris

Often in Bristol so happy to meet up for a beer and chat.

On a more long-term basis, I'd get yourself off to any local business seminar a going. Speak to your local business link and see what's happening.

Here in Essex, there's a BL organisation called Business Champions that partner experienced buisness people with newbies in a kind of mentoring arrangement. It seems to work quite well.

Seek out a Mentor. They are usually retired businessmen who are willing to give the benefit of their experience.

If there's not one local to you, why not set one up?
