Mentoring

Mentoring is a very effective way for aspiring entrepreneurs to get the help and support they need to succeed. It enables them to harness the knowledge and expertise of those who have been there and done it before.

A mentor will act as a trusted confidant to their mentee over a flexible period of time. If you are thinking of finding a business mentor, you should be clear on what you can and cannot expect from them.

A mentor will:

  1. offer an outside perspective on both you and your business

  2. listen, confidentially, to the things that are worrying you about your business

  3. help you by sharing their own experience of both failure and success

  4. give friendly, unbiased support

  5. provide honest and constructive feedback

  6. be a sounding board for ideas

  7. help you with your decision making by suggesting alternatives based on personal experience

  8. provide contacts and networks to further your personal and business development

  9. provide ongoing support and encouragement
