Anybody interested in mentoring me?

[SamJones]

Hi all,

First time posting in a while.

My business TwentySomeone, a brand for supporting twentysomethings through learning experiences, personal coaching and research projects, is in a nice transition. It's built from the belief that your twenties are a developmental sweet-spot to develop your identity, mind and skills. Personal training for the mind, aimed at twentysomethings.

I have good academic mentorship, however I feel I could do with input from a more experienced business owner/entrepreneur that can in part some experience and help with my blindspots. I think my marketing, business strategy and online processes could be stronger and more focused. I'm sure many of you are busy, so I'm open to ideas. Maybe a quick phone/Skype call?

My aim is to take this small and growing community beyond its face-to-face life coaching core at the moment to being a scalable brand that supports twentysomethings development within travel experiences, online learning and business training. It is so important to help the wellbeing and psychological health of my generation.

Some quick background:
TwentySomeone has run for 2 years.
2000 hours coaching experience (from 2013)
Over 3000 twentysomethings have come through our events DYD and 72Hours.
T.I.M.E. (Twentysomething Identity, Meaning and Esteem) research has reached twentysomethings across 4 continents.
Book out late May: The Rise of the TwentySomeone
I'm 26 so I am my market.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hi Sam

There are quite a few companies and individuals that provide mentoring. I think rather than a quick call on Skype, you would probably need to set up a series of structured sessions and decide at the first session what areas to cover and how long you might need help for.

You've identified three quite distinct areas - so are unlikely to get a mentor to cover all three.

Like any service mentoring has a cost - however if you are on a tight budget then you could see if there is any local or national funding available that could help with this.

If not places like The Prince's Trust offering coaching and mentoring as part of the package of support they offer for young entrepreneurs.

Good luck.
