Entrepreneurs have to learn to use all of the resources available to them. Mentors can provided much needed support and ideas to drive a new business. An Entrepreneur can find a local Mentorship program, or often times will reach out to a friend or family member. Here are a few things to remember when you are looking for a mentor and what to do to successfully build the relationship.
1. Give them all the details of your business - make sure they understand your objectives and ideas.
2. Be open to suggestions - As an Entrepreneur it is often hard to take advice from someone on the outside, but listening is often the key to success.
3. Set up a weekly meeting or conference - I have walked away from several meetings thinking, "I wish I had more time with them," make the time and get it scheduled.
4. Show them appreciation - Their time is as valuable as yours make sure to respect it and treat them accordingly.
