Business Tipsfor working with a mentor
Business Tip #1
Industry knowledge.
Look for someone who knows about your specific industry, if possible. They will already
know relevant issues and won't need any explaining.
Business Tip #2
Be honest.
There is no point lying to them about the state of your business or your finances. If you give them
inaccurate information, expect inaccurate advice.
Business Tip #3
Share your goals.
Make sure they understand what you want from them in their role as a mentor. If they don't know
what you want to achieve, how can they help you achieve it?
Business Tip #4
Consider reciprocal mentoring.
You may have skills that your mentor wants to acquire. Reciprocal mentoring means that you
both get something from the relationship.
Business Tip #5
Mentor networks.
Try to create a network of mentors that you can rely on for good advice. No one person can
have all the answers.
