Christopher Norris, Founder and Mentors | Enterprise Nation

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Founders and Mentors&lt;/strong&gt; is a membership platform managed by &lt;a href="https://www.12ronnies.com"&gt;12Ronnies&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for supporting pre-launch founders, inventors and creatives with mentoring from commercial entrepreneurs to help them to launch startups and creative projects successfully.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; | &amp;ldquo;The power of the network should be greater at solving people&amp;rsquo;s problems than a few individuals doing it full time&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have a great idea for a business and need help to launch it, the most important thing you can do is find an experienced mentor to guide you. In 99% of cases, it&amp;#39;s not&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;money you need but guidance on how to validate your idea by finding an optimal&amp;nbsp;market fit for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interested in learning more about us?&lt;/strong&gt; You can join me on the platform for free via this link: &lt;a href="https://founders-and-mentors.mn.co/share/Qr5QoF_zPZuisqHU?utm_source=manual"&gt;Founders and Mentors invitation&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; As well as co-founding &lt;strong&gt;Founders and Mentors&lt;/strong&gt;, I have also founded and run a number of other businesses currently trading in the arts, media, entertainment, publishing, digital media&amp;nbsp;and crowdfunding sectors. If you&amp;#39;d like to connect with me to chat about any of these fields, please don&amp;#39;t hesitate to get in touch&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

My motto in life and work is 'Meet people, make friends, and help them.' Getting to know people is the best way of finding out what makes them tick in terms of goals, ambitions, dreams, interests and life in general.
