One of the things I enjoy most about being a volunteer Business Mentor with Business Mentors New Zealand is seeing business owners gain confidence and momentum.
Today I caught up with my mentee, Judith Scott of Loud and Proud - Business in Waika. Judith has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to networking and helping people make meaningful connections, but like many business owners, she was finding it challenging to market herself and turn that expertise into business growth.
Over the past few months we've spent time discussing ideas, testing opportunities, and implementing a couple of practical marketing initiatives. The exciting part? Judith has recently seen her turnover double. What a fantastic result!
It's a great reminder that sometimes we don't need all the answers ourselves. Sometimes we simply need a sounding board, a fresh perspective, and someone to challenge our thinking and help turn ideas into action.
I love what I get to do - although do wish I had longer arms for selfiesš
