Are you as good a business
person as you would like to be?
Every
successful business
person continues learning and improving themselves throughout their
lives. If you have not taken some actions today
to improve YOU, then you are not growing.
One way
to achieve this is to allow
someone to help
you succeed in business.
Business
mentors and coaches
Have you ever wondered why some sport teams and some individual
sportsmen do so well while many simply fade into obscurity despite
obvious talent? Don't make the
same mistake in business ... let someone look at your business game and
show you the business equivalent of keeping your head down, swinging
through the ball, and improving other areas of your game plan. You may
be very surprised how with a few minor adjustments,
your
business game will rise to a new level. As a business owner, you
probably just did things your way up to now. Not realising that a
business mentor could go a long way to helping you up the level of your
business.
It is so easy to allow yourself to settle into a comfortable groove.
Sure, "comfortable' in this context may even be extremely
uncomfortable - but the point is that if you stop doing what you've
always done and do things differently, you'll land up with different
results.
If you don't want different results, then there is little that business
mentor can help you with initially, other than to re-create that
passion, that fire, that idealism, that sense of independence - or
whatever it was that caused you to get into business in the first
place.
Some people may even feel that asking for a mentor is some sort of
admission of failure. Now, this is a strange one for me. Does this mean
that Tiger Woods is a failure because he has a
golf coach? Clearly it is saying, instead, "I am here to win and I will
use every legal means to do so." A business mentor is like a coach,
looking over your shoulder at your business golf swing.
So what does a business mentor actually do? For one thing, a
mentor
will expect you to do the hard work. Imagine a boxer (Rocky,
in
the movie) running along, shadow boxing. The boxing coach is not
doing
the work. He is not doing the training himself. He is
instead,
on the side line (on his bicycle), doing a different kind of work.
Assessing, measuring , suggesting, proposing tactics, pushing
for
greater effort or different styles - supporting, encouraging,
motivating, building a vision. A business mentor is not there to DO
your work. A business coach is there to show you how to become more
effective as a business owner, supporting YOU. But keeping you
non-dependent.
Are you ready to take the next step - to move your business and
yourself up a notch or two? Arrange a confidential, no
obligation
discussion with one of our experienced business mentors by clicking here.
This could be the single most significant decision you've made this
past year. What do you have to lose? At the most,
an hour
or so of your time. And if you don't spend this hour,
you'll never know what
could have been.
Have a no obligation discussion with a business mentor and determine
whether business mentoring will take you as a business owner to the
next level.
