Beginning with a proverb that “its lonely at the top” in business it refers to the young CEOs and budding Entrepreneurs willing to grow more but feel lonely because of hidden fear because no one else has the same responsibility as they do. At the top, they are responsible for everything that happens in their company and responsible for everyone.
Unlike these business owners are you one of them looking for a mentor? If you’re a young entrepreneur, or you don’t have much experience running a business, you should be. Working with a mentor provides innumerable benefits; not only will you receive guidance, advice, and help when trying to solve tough problems, you’ll also be able to leverage your mentor’s extended network of contacts for new partnerships, employees, and clients.
Mentoring is not a new idea. In the ancient Indian epic, Mahabharata, the great warrior and leader, Arjuna, considered Lord Krishna as his mentor. The right mentor will come with a different unique set of strengths and weaknesses, tried and tested in the real world.
For businesses coming up with effective business growth strategies, marketing strategies, succession strategies, etc. can be difficult. Adapting generic advice to your specific business is a challenge, and evaluating whether or not a specific strategy will work for you is easier with the help of a Business Mentor who is another seasoned business owner.
Do not assume that a person with the most professional experience with obviously be the best fit to be your mentor. Being a mentee, it is important for you to learn and understand the mentor’s strengths and learn from their experiences. They should have already reached the goals that you have in mind for you or have effectively used the strengths you want to possess.
If you have ever heard famous personalities speak about their success stories, you would have noticed one common thing amongst all of them; they all had someone who guided them through their life. Now if you are someone who has a goal and needs help achieving it or you feel lost and do not know what to do, a mentor is someone who can be your guide and help you with your journey.
