Five Reasons You Need A Mentor

Have you decided to start your own business? If you have, you know that there is a big long list of things that you need to get done first! Your business is going to thrive when you put your effort into it, but you will find that it’s going to be so much simpler if you have a mentor by your side to help.


You might not have thought about whether or not you should hire a business mentor, but you should. It’s like finding an adult when

  1. They really do have your back. There is no one out there who will get behind your dreams in the same way that a business mentor will. They’re there in the thick of it with you and they will talk you through everything that you need. If you have an idea, they’ll tell you if it’s a good thing or not. They’ll talk you through everything and they won’t judge the bad decisions either - they’ll just prevent you from making them.

  2. You’ll get the right feedback. Your mentor is going to help you to have the right feedback for everything that you do with your business. From your ideas to the decisions that you make, you need to think about how the feedback you get will help you get into the next level.

  3. They give you an external perspective. Your mentor can look at a situation and help you to decide whether you are making the right choices. They’ll be the person you need to see the big picture and help you to see it and you can use a spoon of that from time to time.

  4. They help your growth. A mentor holds your hand and walks you through the scary situations in the business and helps you to grow personally as well as professionally. They’ll be the cheerleader to push you and the Sherpa to guide your way. 

  5. They will manage you. Your time, your diary and your ability to remain organized depends on your mentor and you should think about how you can use their help. Think of them like a behind the scenes planner that you didn't know you needed.
