Do you feel like the wheels are turning and you are gaining momentum but also as though the handbrake is still partially on and you cannot seem to figure out how to let it go?
All too often I see business owners grinding away, day in and day out, but not making any time to come up for air. But sometimes, if you’re head down in the grind, it’s hard to realise that you aren’t working in the smartest way.
You’ll be able to finally let go of the handbrake when you’re able to eliminate any inefficiencies that are holding your business back from growing. This is where business mentors can really help you to reach your next level of growth.
Business mentors will help you to pause, step back, and focus on the bigger picture. They will support you in strategising and planning for the long-term success of the business. Regardless of your current achievements and success, mentors are a great asset to your growth.
This is a process that is difficult to do on your own. As they say, you can’t read the label from inside the jar! It is so easy to think that you can do it yourself and use the abundance of information available on the internet, however from personal experience, this usually leads to being pulled into a brain spin of overthinking. Most of the time this leads to indecisiveness and inaction. Getting an outside perspective is the best way to make unbiased decisions and to see problems and opportunities that are outside of your awareness.
I guarantee that 90% of the time you have the ability to execute your business plan and ideas, and all
you need is a sounding board to gain clarity on your decisions as to which way to go and what’s
important. This then works towards building your confidence to know that you’re on the right track.
What are some other key benefits of working with a mentor:
- Providing a fresh and objective perspective
- Helping you iron out your approach, risks and rewards on potential opportunities
- Assisting with methods and strategies
- Ensuring that you are building your key business skills to drive the business forward
- Helping you gain confidence to make better and more decisive decisions
Finding the right mentor to connect with is also critical. Ensure that when you are looking for someone to work with you, you feel as though they reflect your values and can support you with your business journey. Good mentors will help you to get into the right position to create success and will share the same passion for your vision.
