How does an experienced business person become a mentor?
If you are lucky enough to have built a good business, sold it for a lot of money and now have a burning desire to help others do the same just how do you go about it?
Rockstar offers a unique programme for people with considerable business experience to become mentors and offers a fee for their invaluable skills. The aspiring entrepreneur and mentor are carefully matched so that the mentor chosen has a strong background and record of success in the Start Ups chosen field.In the early days of a business having an experienced professional to steer a new entrepreneur round the common obstacles they face can avoid wasted expenditure, time and stress. Many new ventures do fail within the first year due to costly mistakes caused by inexperience. However with the knowledge built up by a mentor over many years it can be a very different picture. To the mentor imparting their knowledge and experience is very satisfying and the rewards in seeing someone else make a go of a new business quite a thrill.
However it isn’t just start ups that use mentors – many SME’s realise that consulting a mentor at all stages of their business can avoid costly pitfalls and help in many areas of their business. A recent survey showed that SME’s prefer to receive advice and support from other experienced business people so if you have ever wanted to be a mentor now is the time.
