We all need people who will challenge, support, and push us to be our best.
Are you feeling overwhelmed as you try to make all the big decisions for your business on your own? When you start to feel like you’re on an island, it may be time to partner with someone who’s already tackled the challenges you’re currently facing.
If you’re pulling your hair out with one or more of these pain points, consider connecting with a business mentor.
A mentor is a trusted guide who has more experience and expertise than you do. They offer wisdom that will help save you time, money and energy. They counsel and advise you so your business can thrive and grow at a faster rate. They provide shortcuts, strategies, feedback, and tips to help solve your problems and move your business forward.
1) Gain insight from a proven expert
When DIY gets hard, really hard, there are times when it’s worth it to call in the experts!
If you’re spinning your wheels and wasting valuable time and energy trying to figure all of the ins and outs of your business on your own, consider partnering with someone who’s a few steps ahead of you on this entrepreneurial journey.
We all had to start at the beginning, so why not glean from others who have been right where you are? Sure, you could spend hours, days, and weeks trying to figure out what others already know on your own, but why? I’m giving you permission to cut yourself some slack and invest in a mentor that will help you move past the DIY mindset.
2) Energize your business with new perspectives
You’re stuck, you’re too comfortable and your business is suffering because of it. Sometimes you’re too close to a situation to see it for what it really is. If you can’t see the forest for the trees, find a mentor who’s able to grasp the big picture and break it down for you. An outside perspective may be all it takes to define the small tasks that will help you realize your big dreams.
A mentor will push you to get out of your comfort zone and challenge you to grow in new ways.
Yes, it may be painful when your mentor points out things you don’t want to hear, but with an open mind, you’ll see things from a new, fresh perspective, set attainable goals, and make a plan to reach those goals faster than you could have on your own.
3) Take bigger risks
You’re tired of flying solo. We all need a safe space to dream, vent, and ask questions. When you have a trusted advisor helping you, you are more open to doing new things and chasing opportunities. Things don’t feel as scary when you have a partner and community.
4) Connect with a larger network
If you have a strong desire to be a part of a community, and you long for a sense of camaraderie, consider finding a mentor who leads a community of like-minded professionals. You were not meant to do business alone. When women entrepreneurs meet together to support and encourage each other in business, they feel inspired and motivated to keep on fighting the good fight.
5) Stay focused
You have questions…lots of them. Your husband or partner doesn’t have all the answers. Facebook groups don’t have all the answers, either. In fact, asking questions in free Facebook groups can result in bad advice and may cause you to spin your wheels even more.
When you invest in a business mentor, you’ll get input in real time to your burning business questions. If you’re one to always question everything, and decision making isn’t your strong suit, a mentor can help you make sense of it all.
Even if it seems like you’re all alone, your questions are not unique to you. An expert mentor will share valuable insight they’ve learned in their journey to help you sort out complicated business matters. Plus, they are invested in you and wholeheartedly want your business to succeed!
6) Make more money, faster
You’ve been running your business for awhile now, and it’s time to buckle down and figure out how to make some serious bank. A business without a profit is just a hobby. You want to crack the code to make consistent, abundant income, but there seem to be roadblocks at every corner.
A mentor can help you narrow in on the most in-demand, lucrative products and services in your niche. They will help you develop the right mindset to charge what you’re worth and sell with confidence.
A mentor can help you brainstorm and see things that you just didn’t see. A mentor can guide you in the creation of products and offerings that will keep your business relevant to your clients and stand out from the competition in your marketplace.
Investing in a mentor can have an incredible impact on your business. If you are looking to make any of these changes to your business, get ready to experience the Brand Breakthrough Mastermind. Coming Fall of 2022, I will be mentoring a small group of women entrepreneurs over 4 months so they can develop a sought-after brand and build a stronger business.
I have been running masterminds in the last 2 years and believe this type of program/container is the perfect incubator to change the trajectory of your business. Hands on coaching, tight community of action oriented women and accountability to keep your business getting to the very next step.
More details will be shared soon but if you’re ready NOW to propel your business forward, apply HERE and get on the waitlist.
“Before working with Mallika, I felt stuck. I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn’t know how to put all of the pieces together. With Mallika’s guidance I developed a brand that fits me. I learned that is more than just your product. It’s your vision, mission, values, that drives your business. Once you have those in place, they keep evolving, your brand, product, and services evolve and Mallika has guided me through every evolution of my business.” — Vanessa Flores, Strong Fit Life
