Business Mentors
Providing Invaluable Support
With a business mentor you can step outside the day to day running of your business to take a look at your business as a whole and see the opportunities and issues you face, or potentially will face.
Prepare for future success
with a business mentor
Business Mentors New Zealand can connect you with a mentor to help you and your small business to build the skills and perspective for future success.
Business mentors can support you to grow your business and solve business challenges. It also provides a great way to get objective, open and constructive feedback from an independent expert.
A business mentor would be a great option for you if:
- You are motivated and determined to grow your business
- You are willing to listen and receive constructive feedback related to you and your business
- You can commit to the mentoring relationship, working proactively to ensure tasks are achieved in a timely manner with open and honest communication
