Is Mentoring Required For A Business To Prosper?

Can Online Businesses Thrive Without Mentoring?
By Roy J Derrick

Do you know of an athlete that has succeeded without a mentor or a footballer that has reached the premiership without coaching?

The truth is that in most careers, whether it is in sport, business or acting, very few people succeed without mentoring. David Beckham was mentored by Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Anthony Hopkins was mentored by Sir Lawrence Olivier, Sir Richard Branson was mentored by Sir Freddie Laker and even comic hero Robin was mentored by Batman.

The term mentor dates back to the time of the Trojan War when Odysseus placed Mentor, the son of Alcimus, in charge of his son Telemachus, whilst he was away in the Trojan War. Since that time the term mentor has been used to describe a person who imparts their wisdom and shares knowledge with less experienced colleagues.

The role of a mentor is to help others with their personal development and to help them to progress within their careers and fulfil their true potential. A good mentor will support his mentee but will also empower them to be independent in achieving their goals. They will help them to foster a self belief and will apply the tools and techniques required to acquire the skill sets needed to become a successful entrepreneur.

A successful mentor has already gone down the route that you are taking and they will be able to steer you in the right direction, hence avoiding making costly mistakes along the way.

However, how do you find the best mentor to help you succeed in online marketing?

The way to achieve the best coaching and mentoring is by joining an online business that has its own network and community of top successful entrepreneurs who will offer the best training and advice to help you succeed. These opportunities will offer mentoring programs that will teach how to effectively make money online from home and will also include a personal development plan to help you flourish.

Joining a global online opportunity will offer the best and most cost effective ways of starting an online business. You will receive training from top business experts that will lead you to experience long term success. The training given will include focused education on all the skill sets needed to become a successful entrepreneur. This will include how to adopt a business mindset, leadership skills, the best ways to market your business including using the ever powerful social media and also the best ways to invest your wealth to ensure long term financial security.

This type of training is invaluable as it will accelerate the speed at which your business will grow as well saving you from making costly mistakes whilst trying out various marketing methods and landing pages, as these types of opportunities will already have tried and tested the best ways to sell online.

There is no doubt that mentoring is paramount to the success of online businesses. Like most other careers, having someone to support you and walk you through the process step by step can not only save you from making a lot of costly mistakes but can also accelerate your success massively. However, before embarking with any online home business, be careful to carry out thorough research and ensure that,if you decide to become an affiliate, you join an opportunity that offers the best mentoring and commission available. This will ensure that you make money from home the easy way.
