My New Business Mentor

You will probably get fed up of me harping on about Women Do Business, but seriously, they have provided yet more help for me. This time, I have been assigned a Business Mentor. How cool is that! She is my new best friend :) Or maybe a new God.

I was actually praying that this particular woman would be my mentor as she is unbelievably inspirational, and she's a very cool mum and successful businesswoman all in one. Plus she is married to a very well known entrepreneur which makes it even more cool! But this woman was the reason I set up my business in the first place. I remember going to an event and hearing her give a talk about entrepreneurial women, and the story behind her own business, and she was so inspirational I left the event knowing I would start my own business too.

So anyway, I get to meet this lady once a month for 6 months and brainstorm ideas and create actions that I can take to improve my own business. Frankly all I want to do is hear all about her business as it's awesome...check out www.theoldbagcompany.com.

It's really really nice to have someone to throw ideas at, and who will be honest and say 'I think ur completely wasting your time' (luckily that didn't come up), and to help me find my own way. On the other hand, I feel like I really need to succeed just to please her! Either way, it's all helping. I won't want to give up my business mentor in 6 months time though.

It's all about who you know...

Met an amazing lady through Women Do Business a few months ago who came to my rescue last Friday.
Over a cup of coffee she helped me sort out a marketing plan for www.ladyinlinks.com and gave me a much needed kick up the bum. She is a business woman herself, and runs a successful Marketing company in Devon called Hennessy Marketing. Was so nice to get a bit of advice from a knowledgeable friend, and to have someone really believe in my business. She actually did a world of good to my confidence more than anything I think!
So that kept me busy most of the weekend....not easy stuff though. It was direction I was really lacking, and generally where on earth to start. A few nudges to get me going down the right path has at least got me off my butt, and I just hope that eventually it will pay off.
Had some really nice testimonials come through over the weekend which was lush :) And so these are going to go straight up on my website for all to see! (actually that’s a lie, they will go up when I can afford to pay the website designer to put them up for me.) That’s another course for the list, websites. So much still to learn. Anyone have a website friend for me?!
