Being in your own business is more than just a job. It’s a way of life. When you put in a lot of hours (as most women do!) then the results you product should reflect that effort. But, that can only happen if your energy is directed and your business vision and plan are clear.Over the last year 120 women have taken part in the MentorNet mentoring program. They have come from all sorts of backgrounds (from greeting cards to travel) from all over the country (from Hobart to Perth) and with varied experience (from 6 months to 10 years). Some amazing outcomes are being achieved. I’d like to give you the opportunity to get the same results for yourself.
These results have been collected from four MentorNet programs by participant surveys:Mentorees saw these great results:
- 100% reported an increase their business skills
- 95% report having more direction in their business
- 100% have expanded their networks
- 50% report an increase in turnover (during the 6 months program)
- 65% report business growth (during the 6 months program)
- 35% have employed more staff (during the 6 months program)
- 90% have developed their business plans
- 100% report increased confidence about their business
- 100% are more enthusiastic about their business
Mentors benefited too with these results reported: 100% have expanded their networks
- 100% are more enthusiastic about their business
- 100% reported an increase their business skills
The stated program outcomes for MentorNet are:
- Create a detailed business plan incorporating financial, operations and marketing plans
- Consolidate upon the business skills training, identify deficiencies in skills, and take action to address these areas.
- Expand their national networks and make contacts that can provide ongoing support beyond the completion of the program.
MentorNet is designed to put theory into action in your business over a 6 month period. Mentorees are expected to set outcomes, attend the webinars facilitated by subject-matter experts in business skills, work with a mentor and small peer group to develop a business plan that you can action during and after the program. Sustainability of your business is a high priority and focus.
