Networking and Mentors

Can you do it alone? Do you need help? How important is networking?

I have been reading a lot of material lately about women and mentors. This subject interests me particularly because I am a woman going into business. As a woman with experience in different fields, I have come to the realization that most women, including myself, second guess themselves, are timid when doing business with their male-counter parts and do not know how to ask for a raise. This is where mentoring comes in handy. Mentoring creates confidence, advice, and knowledge on how to mold your career. This is a topic I would like to research further over the next few months, to see how beneficial this is to potential leaders in the management field, if a mentor is worth seeking and/or how this helps the morale of the business itself.
