The Advantages Of Having A Business Mentor

By: Mel Kaario

Making costly mistakes while you "struggle forward" in your business can cause you sleepless nights and a loss of morale.

The old principle of learning by trial and error can certainly be an option, provided you have endless determination, lots of time on your side, and no shortage of spare cash to finance your mistakes! There is also a high risk of becoming disillusioned, losing focus and consequently joining the endless numbers of people who having tried and failed, throw in the towel and walk away.

Why not ask yourself, do really need to keep on making a bunch of mistakes, or if you should learn from others who have done it before and are already successful. Finding a mentor is an excellent idea.

It's important to choose a business mentor that has a proven track record both with business and business mentoring. Experience in your chosen field is an advantage.

Take a look at how the mentoring process is structured. Is it easy for you to ask questions and get the details you need on important business details?

Take the first step towards building a healthy relationship with your mentor by isolating what you are wanting and when you want it by.

Statistically over 90% of new businesses fail within the first 5 years. Considering this strong dose of reality can help you appreciate the role of interacting with your mentor and getting your business up to full power asap. How can you even consider the "crash and burn" approach when you are sincere about your success?

We all know that spending one on one time with a teacher is the fastest way to learn something. Consider learning how to use a new computer program via a manual or a friend who shows you the ropes, which would you prefer? And which way do you think is most effective? One very helpful ability for any business owner is to conserve energy. When we quit learning by trial and error we can save all the emotional energy that comes with losing money and making mistakes.
