Introduction to entrepreneurship/IENT102/Mentorship/How

(: SW - make text more substantive. Case studies good, but change to discussion forum to allow more space for comment.)

How is business mentoring different to other mentoring? Well actually, business mentoring is the same as any other sort of mentoring.

"Business mentoring is a relationship between you, as an entrepreneur, and someone with business experience who is willing to act as a guide. The business mentor offers advice, guidance and support to help you run and improve your business" .
Have a look at at least three of these case studies:

• Beauty therapist
• Fruit marketing company
• Upholstery business
• Vet center
• Natural Flooring Company
• Software company
• Research company
• Tour operator
• Search engine optimisation company
• Food company
• Design agency

After reading these case studies, what value do you think mentorship can add to a business? For example:

• Business mentors improve productivity
• Business mentors listen
