Two of the planet's greatest social websites are on a
mission to find you a business coach.
LinkedIn Last month
launched a fitting service as part of the network's career advice hub, allowing
anyone volunteer to mentor or flag themselves as a potential mentee, it could
be for small business coach training or finding employment.
Now Facebook is
thought to be working on a similar scheme, TechCrunch discovered Facebook is
testing methods of matching mentors and mentees via factors such as geographic
location and livelihood.
Yes, both of those services are providing business coaching
features as a means of bringing other profitable company, like recruitment.
But it's excellent news anyway because for most
entrepreneurs mentoring is often the secret to success.
Locate your mentor
Learning From those with more experience seems obvious, it
is what we do at college, college and together with our families, but when it
comes to perform it seems to be a lesson we quickly forget.
In the United Kingdom Only 22% of little and midsize
businesses state they have experienced small business coach training or
mentoring, based on accountancy group Sage.
That's Despite 93 percent of these recognizing that
mentoring along with also the recommendation of a more seasoned company could
help them to succeed and improve worker productivity.
Especially outside of technology circles, it seems many
folks are either too proud to seek mentoring or presume that mentoring is not
for them since their company is too small or because they aren't the CEO or
creator.
The reality is that mentoring is for everyone, whatever
stage your career or your company is at, you could always learn from a person
who's been around before, even if it's about time management.
The Federation of Small Businesses has even found that for
entrepreneurs mentoring is even more critical. 70 percent of small businesses
with a mentor exist for five decades or longer, double the speed in comparison
with entrepreneurs with mentors.
Currently with LinkedIn, and soon with Facebook, it has
never been easier to put your hand up and start searching for a business coach
in Melbourne.
Time to locate your
business coach.
