Struggling on alone in your business through a succession of costly mistakes is both frustrating and demoralizing.

The old principle of learning by trial and error can certainly be an option, provided you have endless determination, lots of time on your side, and no shortage of spare cash to finance your mistakes! There is also a high risk of becoming disillusioned, losing focus and consequently joining the endless numbers of people who having tried and failed, throw in the towel and walk away.

Perhaps you should ask yourself whether you really need to keep on making all these mistakes, or whether it might not be smarter to learn from successful people who have done it before. Perhaps it would be best to find a suitable mentor.

It's important to choose a business mentor that has a proven track record both with business and business mentoring. Experience in your chosen field is an advantage.

Be sure to consider the structure of the mentoring process. Will you be able to get all the answers you need to make the best possible decisions?

Only when you isolate what you want and why you want it can you confidently move forward. The more you know what you want, the easier it is to achieve it.

Statistically over 90% of new businesses fail within the first 5 years. Considering this strong dose of reality can help you appreciate the role of interacting with your mentor and getting your business up to full power asap. How can you even consider the "crash and burn" approach when you are sincere about your success?

While many business owners spend time learning new techniques and strategies, often the approach is fragmented. It's easy to move a little in many directions without getting any results. Working with a mentor can make your life a lot easier as a good mentor will have a strong overview of your business and the steps you can take to get the results you are wanting. Trial and error approaches can cost us a lot of money and time in the long run.
