Do you feel like you're not getting the results that your company would expect from you?
Do you find yourself asking, "Am I doing this right?" or "Is what I'm doing even worth it?"
Have no fear. You are not alone.
Just keep in mind that most successful people have mentors to help them reach their goals.
And really, why shouldn't someone who is struggling with these same issues?
The benefits of having a mentor are overwhelming, so it's no wonder that more people are looking for one.
A mentor can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, provide advice on how to improve, show you the ropes in your new field or industry, and support you when things get tough.
But before you make the move, let us show you EXACTLY how a mentor can be your most valuable investment.
Third-Person Perspective
Oftentimes, we may fall into the thoughts that we have all the skills and knowledge needed to do everything on our own.
However, many times it is difficult to see the wrong in your ways, meaning that you automatically perceive everything you do as the best in the situation.
Frankly, however, a more experienced third-person perspective may be a deal breaker!
This is one of the most important things an experienced mentor can do - Give you a third-person perspective and feedback!
And we all need that.
New Skills
Whatever endeavour you are in, odds are that it will require a certain level of soft and hard skills.
As a more experienced individual that has been in many situations that demand an array of different skills, your mentor will more than likely be able to teach you new social and technical skills, that will ultimately help you improve.
Think of teaching as a part of the mentorship!
Avoiding Mistakes
Odds are that if you hire a mentor, he will have gone through the mistakes you are about to make, but can't see through.
If you give your mentor a clear vision of your pathway and plan, he will be able to identify possible gaps and mistakes and give you valuable insight.
Remember that a mentor is a person with loads of experience who has been through a lot of hardship!
Making Connections
Usually, mentors are influential people that know others in high places, who can be useful for your endeavour.
Think of your mentor not just as a teacher and an analyst, but also as a hotspot for the creation of valuable interpersonal relationships and connections.
This is perhaps one of the biggest benefits of hiring a mentor!
Final Thoughts
No matter how well taught you are and how many technical and social skills you have, there is ALWAYS more to learn and improve.
Hiring a mentor will allow you to get a professional, third-person perspective on everything that you do, with a precise analysis of possible mistakes.
Besides creating a more clear vision and path to your goals, a mentor can help with your overall personal development, as well as the establishment of valuable connections with individuals and companies.
And so... Why Don't YOU have a mentor yet?
