Why You Should Have A Business Mentor

By Willie E. Vazquez


Internet Business Mentor can be the key, the driving force to get you and your business up and running in a short period of time. The right mentor will save you thousands as you set up, continue to build your internet business. I will list a few things they should help you do. Leadership - be a 5%, one of the movers and shakers in the internet business. Information - have it, and be able to transmit it to you in many forms,one on one(best), go to meeting, phone, emails. Be consistent and timely.

Help set up a plan and work that plan with you. Encourage you to set up a daily routine. Big one, very important, that they kick your, but maybe not always, there should be helpful criticism and encouragement.Help you to become your own worst and best boss. Keep to your plan, and daily schedule.Most important - As you learn and build, and earn some income, start out sourcing the tedious things that rob your time.I lied - Most important is, Your Mind Set-You Must Do-Not Try. Be before you Do so you can Have. See your success, believe in it.

Then you talk to your up-line sponsor Billy, who really has no more of a clue than you do about approaching your warm market. He gives you some advice from a few notes he took the day he met the big wigs, and from his up-line leader.The problem is, Billy is no more plugged into the system and trainings than you are.Let's say that Billy does go to his sponsor for advice, (Shelly) who is also somewhat new. Shelly has gotten advice from her sponsor (Kevin) who has only been in the business for 6 months, (and Shelly is the only one Kevin has ever sponsored).

Everyone in business should consider having access to a volunteer business mentor. Someone who has "been there, done that" and is willing and able to share their wisdom with you on an ongoing basis. Working with a business mentor is particularly useful when starting a new business or looking to grow a business in a down economy. An experienced mentor can not only offer useful guidance on a range of business management issues, but s/he can be a valuable sounding board for testing out new ideas or hashing over periodic business challenges.

Fortunately, there are many different sources to choose from today where you can evaluate and secure experienced business mentoring at no- or low-cost.For example, SCORE Counselors to America's Small Business (SCORE) has been around for over forty-five years and offers access to over 12,000 volunteer business mentors throughout the United States. These individuals offer mentoring expertise in more than 600 business disciplinary skill areas. You can work with a SCORE mentor face-to-face through local Chapter offices, online through email communications, or a combination of both. Many SCORE Chapters provide a detailed profile of each volunteer mentor's area of expertise. This allows you to review which mentor you view best matches your business interests and needs.

Allow you to save money on coaching or consulting services. If you've just started your enterprise, you may be strapped for cash. While hiring a consultant or coach would be an asset, you may have to settle for a mentor. This will not only serve as a platform for establishing your business, but also as a way to keep your vision alive. A coach or consultant can cost you anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars depending on that individual's level of expertise.

Furthermore, due to the high demand of these coaches and consultants, you may find it challenging to secure a spot with them. Mentors, on the other hand, are readily available to share their expertise with you at no cost.Serve as a stepping stone to expand your network. As your relationship with your business mentor develops, you may have the opportunity to meet other business owners in his network.
