EvN Media to mentor one entrepreneurial Journ student a year – starting NOW

Why sign up for a mentoring programme? When Rhodes University approached me to be an Alumni mentor I doubted if I would be able to make a difference in the life of a student. But after only one meeting with my mentee I am positive I made the right decision. I now recall how hard it was to take the step and start your own business. To take that step and say no to job offers. To deal with taxes, a lot of free days and stern warnings from family and friends.

My mentee, as a journalism student, is about to take over the world. To publish stories, to get known. I wish I had someone to mentor me as I started, I might have made better informed decisions.

From help with selling an article, to setting up a business plan and designing a website. I’ll be keeping track of my mentee on a monthly basis. Hopefully at the end of this mentoring programme, which is in October, she will be able to start her own business in journalism. With a list of publications to proof.

EvN Media believes in entrepreneurs, people who are willing to take a chance and are not going to wait for a job and get stuck in an office. Adventure awaits. EvN Media promises to mentor at least one student a year who wants to grow his or her entrepreneurial skills and knowledge. They might one day make for good, healthy competition!
