Mentors are trusted business guides who share their in-depth experience to help you develop your business. Mentoring is about listening to you, helping you plan and keeping you motivated. Mentoring works especially well when clients take an active part throughout the process compared to giving a brief and just being handed a file of someone else's recommendations at the end. Being told what to do with your business doesn't usually lead to a happy outcome, particularly when you haven't been involved in the thought process.

Listening

Having a Mentor to listen to your hopes and problems helps lessen the burden and can provide a sounding board for future development. Your Mentor is skilled at looking at issues from a range of perspectives, providing practical insight and suggesting alternative view points.

Motivating

It can be hard to get motivated when you lack a clear plan, or need skills you don't have, or are overwhelmed by the tasks that lie ahead. This is when a Mentor can help. As they are not involved directly with your business they are able to cut through the day to day problems and help you look at the wider picture and work towards achieving set goals.

Planning

Most businesses concentrate on today and not tomorrow. Yet the tomorrow is critical if the business is to grow. Our Mentors concentrate on both the current issues and the future direction required to make the business prosper. Mentors will work with you to look to the future and build a plan that sets out clear steps to follow.
