Mentor Added Accountability

Finding a mentor is one of the best things entrepreneurs can do for their business. Too often small businesses do not have a board of directors to keep them accountable. Therefore they do not perform to their potential. Its like the old adage, what gets managed gets done.

A mentor relationship can add accountability to the entrepreneur or business manager. Picture your business if someone was checking YOUR work. You probably spend a lot of time checking your team’s work. Even the best qualified members of your team can use the tips you give them and perform better when they are kept accountable. Imagine the most important role in the company being improved.

A good mentor will help you approach situations, deal with the things that you may not want to deal with head on, and keep you to your plan. This accountability is crucial in executing your plan. It makes you answer to someone else. It creates a board of directors type of relationship where one may not exist.
