Having a mentor vs having a partner?

[GIFTMICHAEL]

When starting a business, both are very important in the sense that they will contribute positively to the growth of your business .in normal cases you should try employing the one you believe you will need the most.

Yeah having a mentor is still much better ,atleast you would find someone that would put you through on the necessary strategies to take in the business and make it sucessful

It is a great thing to always have a mentor because if you play a larger role in helping you to establish a business of your dream because you will be mentored in the right way.

There are many folks who tend to have a working partner and they themselves tend to be angel investors. This means that not every partner could be a mentor and there could be many exceptions to this case.

If you have the opportunity I will advise that you should try as much as possible to get the two of them because they are going to be very helpful as two of them have unique things that they can bring.

It just depends on what you want them for. If you're seeking knowledge you have little or no idea about, you have to look for a mentor. If you just want someone to be encouraging you at work and help you with what you both already have idea about, you might want to get a partner

The role of a mentor is to guide you through his own experiences to equip you to avoid pitfalls, guide you to success, while a partner is to complement you maybe as a financial partner,or technical partner,or as an administrative partner or the lik

In the business operation it is left for the owner to decides which of these would be most appriopriate for him at a given point in time,most time it is the mentoring that a business would need at a particular period,and in some other time he would need partnership.

So we'll I know alot of people would vote for having a mentor but read this first.

So my theory is that, when you want a mentor you're probably looking for someone above you right??

And a partner will have to be someone in your level or a bit higher or lower.

So which is better ? I will say partner because when you have a mentor he is going to train and teach you how things worked in his time, when he was starting out...
And we all know strategies change, algorithms waver and fluctuate, so their advice might not be the best for a start up.

But a partner is someone that is in the same field and sometimes in the same level and who is also working hard and smart like you, and figuring out new strategies to benefit the both of you, while you do the same.

So you two will figure things out that currently works for startups.
(This doesn't mean a mentor is completely ruled out but their opinions and help will also be helpful after you conduct research on them 😉😀😄)

I think both of them are important from mentor you can learn how to do something and with partner you can work on it, everyone with a good mentor and partner can become successful.

Yes, in the end, the decision is usually made by the owner. However, a mentor could have some impact on that decision as mentors are the ones who guide many businessmen.

Definitelly true,the role of a mentor cannot be overemphasied,you will get very detailed and informed guidiance from them,they will give you their experiences they have gathered over the years.

The situation you find yourself in will determine which of them is best suited for you. If you already have business knowledge, it is preferable to have a partner who is equally knowledgeable about the nature of your business or financially stable to help you turn your knowledge or business ideas into reality. However, if you don't have any business knowledge, you will need a mentor to help you.

 

[Shigobad20201]

Ine good advantage of a mentor is that they help you prepare your mind towards achieving success in your business and secondly they help you grab the knowledge of business which you can't even know writhing ten years within son months

 

[frederick_9]

In a business setting, having a mentor is preferable to having a partner.
You will undoubtedly receive guidance and instructions from a business mentor on how to run your company to succeed financially.

When mentoring, one person often has greater knowledge and a higher position. However, accountability partners frequently share similar educational and professional backgrounds. Because of this, there are advantages to this kind of relationship.

 

[Sotherefore]

Having a mentor in business is a huge advantage to your business because proper guidelines and advice will be given on how the business should be runned. I rather prefer to get a mentor than a partner although both of them are absolutely needed.

I believe that having a partner is going to do better for you especially somebody who is willing to invest time and money into the business. This is in fact one of the fundamentals of business growth.

I think it is better to have a mentor in a business. Such a person will be able to teach you the gimmicks of the business and also help you whenever you have any problem

Both have their importance and their benefits , a mentor will guide you through hardship , encourages you and give you hint on a business while a patner will work together Sith you , share the profit and loss with you .

A mentor is usually just a teacher or someone you look up to. But a partner is more helpful imo. With a partner they can help you with the work to be done. They can help with running the business and working with the employees.

Mentors don't usually work with you, but either teach you or inspire you instead.

A mentor makes your journey easier by telling you how to navigate the challenged he had faced and how he overcame it. Even if I have a business partner, we must also have a mentor who can show us the way. If I am to choose, I would pick the experience of a mentor.
