Most of us remember a time when we first began our business, and everything just seemed so daunting. Whether you bought a book or a premesis or simply started up on your own, you were faced with a myriad of questions – what do I do about my taxes; how do I structure my business so I cover my own assets; what do I do when hiring staff; where do I find staff; why aren’t I making enough money; and all sorts of other things.

 

Along the way, you’ve probably found out some of the answers through trial and error or maybe you got some advice from other salon owners, your accountant or even HABA. But we are pretty sure you’ve still got more questions, as the nature of your business change and the market that you’re in changes. And that’s really where a business mentor can be an incredible help to you. It’s about refining your business and making sure that every decision you make is focussed on getting you towards your business goals, whatever they may be.

 

ADVICE

More often than not, salon owners should be looking for mentors who have worked in the same field as you do, whether that’s hair or beauty. This means that they will have personal insights, trials and errors that are common between your businesses and will help guide you towards a more solid solution that will best benefit your business. This industry-specific advice and the real-world application of it is key to making sure that you get the right advice for your business, specifically tailored around either the hair or beauty industry.

 

SUPPORT

Sometimes mentorship is more about having someone to commiserate with and to support you when you don’t know where else to turn. A business mentor can be a great person for this, acting as a sounding board for ideas or guiding you through leadership techniques to be used with your team. You can share ideas and problems with your mentor and because of their in-depth understanding of your business, they both understand and can offer you tactics to utilise moving forward.

 

Mentoring can help you grow and develop your business through planning, performance and productivity. It can broaden your business network, help you identify new opportunities, ideas and innovative solutions for your business. Choosing the right mentor could be the best decision you make for your business – all you need to do is make the call and find the right mentor. Do it for the future of your business, and for yourself.
