Your Melbourne Business Mentor

As a professional business mentor in Melbourne, I have helped many clients to achieve and exceed their business goals, drawing on my experience both as a mentor and my time as a highly successful senior executive in Australia. Business mentoring is a very different proposition to business coaching and you need to be sure that you are capable of taking full advantage of the business mentors you work with if you want to make the most of the opportunities for advancement that mentoring affords.

For some business owners, coaching is the best option as it involves more frequent meetings, more direction from your coach and more support on a day-to-day basis. However, if you have reached a stage where you feel you have outgrown the need for such frequent support, working with an experienced Melbourne business mentor could be the next step in your journey.

Professional business mentors take a more reactive role than business coaches, responding to your requests and personal requirements rather than suggesting directions in which to head as far as your business activities are concerned. A mentor will support your chosen path but will not set it for you. With this in mind, you must possess certain qualities to succeed when working with a mentor.

Working with a Business Mentor in Melbourne

Professional business mentors take a more reactive role than business coaches, responding to your requests and personal requirements rather than suggesting directions in which to head as far as your business activities are concerned. A mentor will support your chosen path but will not set it for you. With this in mind, you must possess certain qualities to succeed when working with a mentor.

• Self Motivation and Self Discipline – These are crucial qualities to possess for any successful business owner but if you plan to work with a business mentor in Melbourne and make real progress, you are going to need an excess of these qualities compared to your peers.
• The Ability to Accept Full Responsibility for Your Actions – As a highly experienced Melbourne business mentor, I can advise, provide constructive criticism and detailed feedback when required but you need to be able to accept responsibility for your actions and the outcomes they precipitate in order to make real progress toward your goals, which brings us to the next quality you will need.
• The Ability to Set Your Own Goals – I can help you to move towards your goals with expert direction and guidance but first, you need to know exactly what it is that you want to achieve.
• A Willingness to Take the Lead Role with Your Business Mentors– Rather than waiting for direction and advice, you will need to lead your mentors by telling them what you need and where you intend to take your business in the future. Only by taking such an approach will you enjoy the full benefits of a business mentoring relationship.

If you believe that you have the requisite qualities to truly benefit from working with a first-class Melbourne business mentor, I would like to ask you to give up 30 minutes of your time to discuss your plans with me. During our conversation, I will outline exactly how I think I can help you to become a better business owner.

It may be that after discussing your requirements with me and listening to what I have to say, you decide that business coaching is more appropriate to your current needs than business mentoring. If this is the case, you may still move on to a mentoring relationship in the future, as your needs and position changes. I have worked with a number of very successful business owners who started with a conventional coaching arrangement and progressed to a business mentoring relationship once they reached a point where it was appropriate.
