Make or break mentoring

Do you need an objective point of view for your business? 

These one-to-one sessions are designed to attack the tough issues and situations business owners inevitably experience once the excitement of the challenge of starting up fades away.  

The next stages are crucial to business survival. Fresh problems can arise on a daily basis that often instigate wanting to throw in the towel. Stay determined, never give up but seek the advice that can help you overcome these common problems!

Our successful mentor, Kerrie Dorman has been there six times (four successfully!). She has experienced achieving sustainable growth and will help you to do the same.

Business is tough but with some guidance from someone who has been there before, you and your business have a far greater chance of succeeding with renewed confidence. Having another pair of ears to listen and offer a fresh perspective can make all the difference to your problem-solving. 

Some topics for discussion include:

  • Analysis of business and overall health check
  • Apparent issues and the causes
  • Plan of action and resources available

 

Frequent issues experienced by new businesses are:

  • Lack of sales and effective marketing
  • Cash flow and lack of adequate funding
  • Staff and employment
  • Delegation skills
  • Pricing
  • Adequate business platform to cope with growth
  • Lack of support
  • Confidence and ability issues

 

Take this opportunity to get the mentoring and guidance you need to ensure the future success of your business.
