De gode råd

The type of adviser being respected the most by entrepreneurs is - another entrepreneur.
Attending workshops and other activities along with fellow entrepreneurs is an invaluable source of support, inspiration, and networks.
There is no single place to go if you are looking for peer networking - you simply have to ask your way. If you cannot find a network to join you can always start your own.
There are several ways of networking:
Experience exchange groups
Experience exchange groups are pools of persons sharing community of interest. Experience exchange groups can go on for years or just three sessions with three scheduled topics.
Groups can gather on specific topics - be it gender or trade specific, or they can be comprised of business owners from the local dealers´ association.
They are often started because a fiery soul among business owners thinks it would be a good idea.
Virtual networks
You can join Internet chat-rooms with specialised spheres of interest or you can try to find an attractive debating society.
Clubs
In order to socialise with peers you can join clubs and chambers. Relatively new entrepreneur networks include Morgendagens Heltinder (tomorrow´s heroines) - www.heltinder.dk. Morgendagens Heltinder is a nationwide network of women innovators, entrepreneurs, initiators, instigators, fiery souls, and inspirers. A network where you can meet peers facing the same challenges or sharing the same experiences as yourself.
Mentor and sparring partner
Many entrepreneurs benefit from being associated with a "senior entrepreneur" who has endured the many challenges new business owners face. Some places, mentor and sparring schemes are organised from a local network. If no such network exists you can ask a local business owner that you admire if s/he would like to be your sparring partner.
