Yes, I apologise I've been quite lately. So much has been happening. The business is still growing but with change. A new direction.
Over the past few months I've sat back and studied where I want to be in the future, what I want to do. How do I want to spend my days? To really do what I want to do I need to make changes now both in my personal life and in business. Free up some time and get some assistance where I need it most.
We all have a few week areas or areas we need a helping hand once in a while. I learnt early on in business to ask questions to people with anwsers and to have someone to toss things in the air with is great. I found a mentor for finance, a mentor for recruiting and now as I make changes again a mentor for guidance. I have not had all these mentors at the same time but I have asked for their mentoring help at times of need.
A mentor does not work in your business but is a sounding board to assist you with developing your business skills. You can take your mentors advise on board but the final decision is yours.
There are many places you can find a mentor. You may already know someone you wish to ask but if not ask at your local business enterprise centre as they have mentors who will guide you as you start your business or focus in new arenas.
From childhood I've had some wonderful mentors. Some of mentors have been relatives, some have been friends, they have been younger and older and some of my mentors have been indirect mentors. This group do not know how they influenced me or how I modelled my ways by watching them or listening to them. I thank all my mentors for the guidance they have given me, and the knowledge they have shared with me.
Quote 'You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself' Diana Ross
