Spending time with public speakers gave me great insight to the world of mentors and coaches. As a public speaker I wondered why these experts would limit their time and knowledge to just a few. What I found out about the world of being a business mentor was shocking.
Most mentors chose a field they are highly successful in. Such as a real-estate mentor or coach. But how do you know a mentor was successful in business? And did their business relate to what you are doing?
Without this information you are hiring someone who may not have a great track record. Even if they were successful at business themselves does that mean they can help others is also a concern.
Just how do you know when you’ve found your match when it comes to business start up or creating a good plan for business growth or a way to increase your productivity?
1. Ask for a list of references in your industry.
2. Be ready to contact and ask hard questions of the references.
3. Ask for a money-back guarantee for the first session or a trial meeting.
Finally look online for business mentor memberships many are free.
