Episode14 Guerrillapreneur: the Art of Waging Small Business Warfare - Giant Slaying: How To Build A Kick-A$$ Board of Advisors For Your Startup. This is our second Giant Slaying episode! In these episodes, I discuss strategies and tactics that can help Guerrillapreneurs defeat the corporate giants.

In this episode, I am going to discuss seven (7) board member profiles that your startup should consider when building its board of advisors. Why are boards of advisors so important? According to the Small Business Association (SBA), 55 percent of all small businesses with employees fail within five (5) years of launch. This same thought is echoed in Shikhar Gosh's Harvard Business School study that indicated that "75 percent of venture-backed startups fail." The one shining light in these dismal facts is that mentors can improve a startups chances of success. Sheila Eugenio of Entrepreneur.com stated that "70 percent of mentored businesses survive longer than five (5) years." Simply, having a mentor helps entrepreneurs avoid the pitfalls that cripple and eventually destroy businesses. Check out this episode and see how you can build a kick-a$$ board of advisors. I hope it helps you. Want notes about this podcast, check out our blog at https://guerrillapreneur.blogspot.com.
