We Love Mentors’ Post

Finding the right mentor can be transformative, and it's all about leveraging your network and seeking diverse perspectives. When I spoke with Tinku Gupta, we explored how to identify a mentor who can truly help you grow. It's not just about finding someone similar to you, but rather someone who can highlight your blind spots and offer a different outlook. If you're an optimist, consider a mentor with a more critical perspective to balance your views. Recognizing your own strengths and weaknesses is crucial in this process, as the right mentor can provide guidance where you need it most. Embrace the journey of finding a mentor who challenges and supports you!

"Are You Sabotaging Your Own Mentorship Journey?" "Think your mentor isn’t helping you enough? Maybe the problem isn’t them—it’s YOU." Mentorship is a two-way street, but many mentees unintentionally undermine their progress by failing to communicate effectively. Are you clear about what you need, or are you expecting your mentor to read your mind? Signs You Might Be Sabotaging Yourself: - You don’t prepare for mentorship sessions. - You avoid difficult feedback. - You expect your mentor to solve all your problems. Solution: Approach each session with clarity. Be ready to share updates, challenges, and specific questions. Success in mentorship starts with you. Take control of your journey! 👏 Follow us for actionable tips every week. 😊

I had my first mentoring session last week with a new mentee who is at the start of her entrepreneurial journey. We covered and unlocked so much, and it felt good to go deeper 1:1. What we dug into: • Balancing priorities • Developing a core offering and a sales pitch you feel confident in • Setting business goals + prioritizing • Managing personal time + energy • Finding a niche The most important takeaway from the session was: You need to have a vision of what you want to achieve and you need to document it. From there you can create an action plan with goals and timelines. A mentor relationship is a wonderful accountability tool ✨
