Top 5 Reasons to have a mentor

Having a mentor can really be uplifting and life changing. It is one of an essential part of your career plan. A mentor does not only give guidance but also shares a special relationship which is a reward in itself.

What is a MENTOR?

A mentor is someone with more business experience than you, who supports and guides you from outside without any direct involvement or interest in the business and most importantly, serves as a trusted confidante over an extended period of time, usually free of charge. Apart from advising, they will always be there in every step you take

If anyone out there has been contemplating getting a mentor or you don’t really understand the point of a mentor, here are my 5 top reasons to have a mentor:

1. They’ve been there and done that. You can learn from your mentor’s mistakes and avoid making them yourself.

2. You can talk to someone who is an unbiased third party. They see you for you. Your mentor may notice potential in you that you might not see in yourself.

3. They have a whole different network of contacts and connections that you don’t. These connections are priceless and can help enhance your career in ways you couldn’t yourself.

4. It’s the best free service you could ever get. AND you’ll probably gain a life-long friend.

5. Your mentor may introduce you to a career path or business opportunity that you did not know existed before.
