April is Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Month

The U.S. Small Business Administration and AARP are hosting a great program and series of events this month called Encore Entrepreneur Month, where successful business owners and community leaders can offer guidance to “encore entrepreneurs,” targeting older Americans who are interested in starting a small business as a second career after retirement. The events are occurring in formats designed to give both mentors and mentees the most impact:  speed mentoring events, which allows mentors and entrepreneurs to share information for five-minute sessions, and mentor lunches, where entrepreneurs to learn best practices from successful small business owners in an informal setting.
