When are Mentors Useful?
You are probably familiar with the 4-types-of-knowledge matrix
| I know what I know | I know what I don’t know |
| I don’t know what I know | I don’t know what I don’t know |
Mentors help you in the “I know what I don’t know” and the “I don’t know what I don’t know” quadrants so you have a fuller understanding of your options
But you make up your own mind what directions to take
We lead you to solutions for your “Don’t Knows”
How to Book a Business Mentoring Session
Sessions are conducted over a video link if your mentor is not local or can be face-to-face if local. They last approximately an hour. Mentors are experienced business people volunteering their time to help others. However, there are admin overheads so there are non-refundable fees to cover costs. For more, see the two options below. If you are not happy with the mentoring process after your first meeting, we will give you a 100% refund.
Presently this service is restricted to Australia
Even though our Business Mentors are experienced, they can only provide general comments as they don’t know the specifics of your business. For specific advice, always consult a specialist.
Book Single Sessions as Needed
Sometimes you only need occasional sessions so we have an option to book single sessions as you wish. These are $AU85 each and as often as you wish.
If you are not happy with the process after your first meeting, we will give you a 100% refund.
Book a Year of Mentoring Meetings
You still get to choose when to have meetings but you get a massive discount for booking for the full year. If uncertain, book a free 15 minute Discovery Session to discuss how it works. The annual subscription is heavily discounted at $AU295 for up to 12 meetings in a 12 month subscription period.
If you are not happy with the process after your first meeting, we will give you a 100% refund.
