Buat para Founders, kadang kita suka overestimate dengan kemampuan diri sendiri dan menyepelekan peran dan pentingnya seorang mentor, padahal keberadaan dan kehadiran mereka bisa jadi penentu kesuksesan kita loh! Masa iya? Yuk sama-sama kita pelajari!
Bisnis bareng partner aja sulit, apalagi kalau dilakuin sendirian! Nah disinilah pentingnya mentor. Apa sih mentor itu?
A mentor is someone who has been through the ups and downs of starting a business and can offer valuable insights and guidance based on their own experiences.
Coba kita contoh Brian Chesky, the co-founder Airbnb. Saat dia baru meniti perjalanannya di AirBnB, dia banyak berkonsultasi dengan mentornya, Elad Gil.
Gil not only provided valuable feedback on his business model, but also helped connect him with other influential people in the tech industry.
Having a mentor can also help you avoid costly mistakes.
Contohnya, kasus Tristan Walker, the founder of Walker & Company Brands. He credits his mentor, Silicon Valley legend Ben Horowitz, with helping him navigate some of the common pitfalls of startup life.
Dan, ga cuma tentang menjauhkan diri dari kesalahan aja!
A mentor can also help you see the big picture and set long-term goals. Take the example of Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx. Blakely credits her mentor, Richard Branson, with encouraging her to think big and helping her develop the confidence to pursue her goals.
Intinya punya mentor bakalan bikin kalian punya akses ke guidance, support dan juga perspektif yang kalian butuhkan untuk bisa jadi sukses sebagai pebisnis. Saat kalian udah ketemu dengan mentor yang tepat, pasti dia akan membantumu merubah bisnismu!
Remember, no successful entrepreneur has ever done it alone. Yuk, cari mentormu dan mulai rubah bisnismu lebih baik lagi!
