Mentoring
No man is an island, and as business owners this is something, we all learn at an early stage. Having a trusted advisor, an associate or someone to just bounce business problems or challenges off can really make a difference. Unfortunately for whatever reason this may not always be feasible and that is where a business mentor comes in to bridge this gap. A business mentor is typically more experienced and supports an individual to clearly identify their problems and then guides and advises on how best to overcome these obstacles.
Mentoring has always played a vital role in business success and at some stage every business owner will avail of it. While there are many overall benefits of mentoring, for each mentee this will differ depending on their initial needs.
