Mentor
Traditionally,
the term ‘mentor’ might conjure up for us a picture of a ‘white-haired wise man
or guide’. In fact, the origins of the word mentor come from Homer’s The
Odyssey. Before leaving to fight the Trojan war, Odysseus left his son and his
entire estate in the care of his friend Mentor,
who then guided the young Telemachus as he grew up.
I do
believe that Business Mentoring is a relationship between the Business Owner,
and someone with business experience that can guide her/him through making the
difficult decisions, point out ways of improving her/his business, ask the
tough questions and motivate her/him to
want to achieve higher levels of performance, all within the bounds of a
trusted relationship.
