Mentors-The Success Maker!

When you are a new entreprenuer and want to be sure to be successful then the best thing you could do is find someone who has already achieved what you want and find out how they did it.

Many entreprenuers get overwhelmed when starting a new business because they try to figure everything out themselves. This leads to unnecessary frustration and can also be the reason some fail. They either never figure it out or give up in the process.

No matter what your goals are, there is someone that has already acheived them. All you need to do is find them, learn how they did it and copy their methods.

A couple of things to remember when picking your mentor:
1. Make sure that they have actually achieved the same goals you want for yourself. Find proof, don't just take their word for it.
2. You do not need to actually meet your mentor, the internet is a powerful resource when searching for successful businesses.

Ok now that you know what to look for in a mentor, list the key goals you want for yourself and your business. Some of these can include: increase income, search engine optimization, high ROI, etc. You can also add in long term goals like: expansion within 5 years, double my profits after one year, or pay off your debts.

Since this is your business, adding personal goals will help keep you focused on your business goals because they will be interrelated.

Now that you have your list and what to look for in a mentor its time to begin your search.

The best way to find a mentor online is to look for small but successful businesses on the web. They are more personal and well, setting your initial business goals to corporate standards may be a bit overzealous.

Once you find a business you can learn how they became successful by subscribing to their blog or newsletter, reading their forum or discussion topics, purchasing their books or study courses and emailing them directly.

Finding a mentor will help take the stress away from starting a home business. Usually a business mentor will have great suggestions on start up companies with low prices, for instance advertising, web design, or campaign management. They will be more likely to help because they remember how they felt with starting their business.
