Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in marketing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ben Washburn, Founder of MentorMeInc., located in Greater Omaha, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Marketing and communications are founded on business mentoring. Verticals we’ve done business with and their owners/leadership team members.

Tell us about yourself

I enjoy business and relationships. I love meeting people, and I thrive on customer service, communication, and confidentiality. I began working on MentorMeInc by seeing a need for two-way, open and honest, transparent communications to exceed the expectations of clients. The never give up attitude of Entrepreneurship drives me to know I am making a difference and getting noticed in the communities I do business in.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Completing contracts that were fun, rewarding, and financially sound allowed me to build on the application side of the business for business mentoring. Being selected as a start-up judge at the local college Entrepreneurship program was a highlight.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The day-to-day and cash flow. Liquidity is also a challenge while assessing the assets of time and money.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Be resilient and able to adapt.
  2. Accept change while not worrying about what others think.
  3. Have great clients and a great business plan.
