Mentor Q&A

Q. What’s the biggest lesson you have learned while being in business for yourself?

I am a businessperson first, and what I do is my business. It is important to have structure, systems, processes, and policies in place so my business can run smoothly, and clients can feel secure in investing in my business and what I am offering.

Q. What advice do you have for other entrepreneurs based on what you learned?

Take the time to set up your business upfront with structure, systems, processes, policies etc. (you’ll tweak them along the way) – this will make you feel more confident about your business and acquiring clients, and your clients will feel more confident hiring you.

Have a small group of like-minded business people/owners for your support and personal/business growth (e.g. Mastermind Group) – you can meet/talk with on a regular/irregular basis to share knowledge, challenges, successes, and experiences with each other.

Q. Why do you volunteer your time as a mentor to help less experienced women business owners?

I know the challenges that come with being a business owner, especially in the earlier stages. I also know how it feels to have mentors to guide and support, and offer knowledge and experience, I’ve seen and felt the rewards myself, and I’d like others to experience this – it makes a difference.
