Get Results Faster With A Business Mentor

By Mel Kaario

Many business owners struggle and make costly mistakes which cause frustration and a decrease of passion for their business.

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.

Perhaps you should ask yourself whether you really need to keep on making all these mistakes, or whether it might not be smarter to learn from successful people who have done it before. Perhaps it would be best to find a suitable mentor.

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.

Be sure to consider the structure of the mentoring process. Will you be able to get all the answers you need to make the best possible decisions?

In order to build a healthy relationship with your mentor it is crucial to know what you want and what your goals are.

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?

While many business owners attend business seminars and online membership programs, it is much quicker to learn when you can spend personal one on one time with your mentor and address your concerns specifically. In life we often learn by trial and error, it can save you years and lots of grey hair when you quit doing things the hard way and gather the wisdom and business techniques from others who are truly successful.
