My expectations for a successful mentoring relationship
Communication and feedback on what we are working on in an agreed time frame. I would like to have open and transparent communication. I want to support the dreams of the person I’m supporting by listening and offering suggestions and guidance.
How entrepreneurs can prepare before we start
Have an idea and a dream for success. Give a background of themselves and why they are pursuing their dream. Perhaps consider how much time they have to commit to their business. Also, share with me their experience, their vision, and the reason they want to start/grow their business. It would be nice if they had a sense of the need in the community for their service/product and who else is doing similar things. Having a draft budget and knowing how they would consider themselves successful would be a good starting point.
I look forward to helping someone navigate their next steps!
