I realised that I needed structure

When I had my consultation, I realised I could benefit from the structure of MentorNet. The fact that the program will make me focus on aspects of business that I haven't been focusing on, I faced some of the harder business decisions that I'd been putting off.

Karen O'Connell-Shea, All Things HR

Great, free business advice

We were looking at engaging a coach or mentor and I had known about MentorNet for a while. I got some great, and FREE, business advice during the consultation and as a result, knew that doing the program would give me great value for my business.

Chantelle Hodgson, Mabuzi

I was able to raise my concerns and discuss them…

The consultation was a very valuable activity for me. It not only helped to set my expectations for the program, and erase my scepticism, but it also provided a reason to start looking inward to define my business goals, solidify my ambitions and to ultimately get moving! If you are initially interested, however feel a little sceptical about the program, the free consultation session allows you to openly raise these concerns and discuss them. Above all, it will get you to start focusing on the things you really want to achieve.

Sarah Ladyman, Relish This

It was good for me to know that I was on track…

Our business has been running for three years. It was great to have questions asked that make you look at your business from a different point of view and ask myself questions I hadn't asked before.

Tania Viskovich, Vitamin X Advertising

I discovered how I could benefit from MentorNet

The consultation process helped me make up my mind to join MentorNet. It provided me with the information I needed and the answers to my questions. Also, it gave me more information than the advertisements about the program, especially how I can benefit from MentorNet.

I got another point of view and different insights into my business

For me, the consultation process was very valuable. Of most benefit to me was to have someone to discuss my business concerns with - particularly getting another point of view and different insight. At the time of the consult, I wasn't sure whether to start a website or not. The discussion gave me the confidence in making that decision, but also the understanding of how it would benefit my business. I would be good to be able to pay to have such a consultation at any point.

Kate Furst, Andiamo Landscape & Paving

Great insight through the questions asked

Because I work for myself and by myself, it was good for me, as a startup business to know that I was on the right track and that I was really clear on where I was going. The questions asked made me speak about my business and get clear on where I was going and where I needed to focus. It was great to have someone listen and offer advice.

Karen Demmery, Karen Demmery Consulting

It made me really think about my business…

What I found most valuable about the consultation is that it made me really think about my business and what direction I want to take it in. By talking about my business, I was able to verbalise what is unique about us. I recommend the consultation if you're unsure about whether the MentorNet program is right for you.

Carrol Jones, Corporate Talker

It was good to get answers to the questions that are important to me…

After having an "Are you mentor-ready" consultation, it was easy for me to judge if the expectations I had for the MentorNet program would be met. It was good to get answers to the questions that are important to me. Also, I wasn't sure if I qualified to be on the program. By going through the consultation process, I got a chance to put forward a stronger case for me to be accepted as well.
