Women business owners say creating a business plan and mentor support as keys to overcoming business challenges. When the Australian Businesswomen’s Network recently polled 55 women business owners about their biggest business challenge, we weren’t very surprised by the results. While sales and marketing skills, finances and even growth strategy were important to them, the areas of biggest concern was the lack of peer and mentor support and a business plan. We’ve heard this before. We’ve conducted this poll with hundreds of women now and the results are the same.

Without a business plan and mentor support, you can find yourself directionless and wondering if you’re making the right decisions.

The good news is that the creation of a business plan and mentor support are exactly what you can expect from the MentorNet mentoring program, which starts on 12 June. Over six months, you’ll work with a mentor, an experienced business person, to strategically plan the growth of your business and to develop a business plan that you’ll put into action, so that your business goals and dreams can come closer to being a reality.

Here’s what two previous participants said about The MentorNet Program:

“The MentorNet program, my mentor, and my pod members all helped me overcome my initial challenges,” says Sarah. “I found the interactive environment to be open and nurturing, which grew my business confidence as well as my business network. The business planning and financial chapters within the course covered the main areas with which I struggled by giving real examples of cash flow forecasting, templates, and business case studies.” — Sarah Ladyman, Relish This   “MentorNet provided me with a flexible business development program that I can manage with my busy schedule,” explains Denise. “As a working Mum, in the most literal sense, more traditional ‘face-to-face’ business development simply isn’t an option.” — Denise Hardingham, Renaissance Stained Glass
