Defining Your Needs

Before you start scouting for a mentor, take some time to reflect on your needs and goals.

 

What specific areas of your business do you need guidance in?

Are you looking for someone with experience in your industry, or do you need help with general business skills?

 

Understanding your needs will help you narrow down your search and find a mentor who's the perfect fit.

 

For example, in Placebo Paradox, we have a solid experience in various fields: business management, art, music, photography, video, corporation, and more.

Explore our mentorship programs and how they can help to your specific business challenges.

 

 

Networking Like a Pro

They say it's not what you know, but who you know. And when it comes to finding a mentor, truer words were never spoken.

Start by tapping into your existing network and reach out to colleagues, friends, and industry contacts to see if they know anyone who might be a good fit.

 

You can also attend networking events, join online forums, and don't be afraid to put yourself out there. You never know where you might find your next mentor.

 

 

Evaluating your budget

It's time to do some work. Based on your experience, and your goals, you can decide how many sessions you will need. Th right mentor will help you to decide, but it’s always a good practise to understand and decide for yourself.


How many sessions can I have without compromising my other tasks?

Should I start with a single session and see how it goes?


Remember, you're looking for someone who not only has the right expertise but also shares your values and vision.
