I have been looking into mentoring programs. Which got me wondering at what point do you look at a situation and think “I could really use some guidance”?
In fact until I did some reading that 71% of Fortune 500 companies use mentoring programs – that is a huge number – I have often sort of pushed the thought of a mentor to the side. I mean I know everything I need to…right?! I mean I grew up on a farm I possibly could not need to know much more than I already do. Then a sort of calm reality hits. I know a lot about nothing!!
Ok not nothing. A lot of the things I know about are very valuable. But being a part of FarmOn.com has really taught me some amazing things about business that I had no clue about before. I now look at things more with a business mind than I ever had. Even after being in this company for as long as I have, I can now look and see that a mentor in certain areas would be so beneficial. Especially in an area like finances.
Do you have mentor? In what areas do you think you would benefit from one?
