As an entrepreneur, one of the best pieces of advice I hear constantly is to "get a mentor". When I look back on my time as a W-2 earner, I thought having a mentor was important when moving through the ranks of a company. So, why would I need a mentor as an entrepreneur? After all, I am my own boss, right? I have my own company and that means I am doing something right. Right? Maybe, maybe not. I asked myself the following questions before building my team of mentors:
▪ Is my phone ringing with new business?
▪ Am I attracting serious clients?
▪ Is my revenue steady and constant?
▪ Am I trying out new ideas?
▪ Is my business growing?
▪ Am I attracting serious clients?
▪ Is my revenue steady and constant?
▪ Am I trying out new ideas?
▪ Is my business growing?
Well you guessed it. The answer is "No" to all of the above. I simply did not have "personal mentors" so I did the next best thing. I developed an amazing team of "on-line" mentors, many of whom I will be sharing with you here in my blog space from time to time. There will not be an elaborate intro but a title accompanied by a one-liner giving you some insight into what will be discussed. I hope you benefit as much as I have. Until next time...
