Hi Brook,

Fantastic post! I think that having a mentoring mindset is the thing that separates the true leaders from the followers. When I first began building up my blog, I began by sharing my results as I went along in my journey. Doing this quickly put me in a mentoring mentality without really realizing it. Now I have a audience that looks to me for advice and guidance and I feel the obligation to continue to provide useful information and share my experiences as I move forward - weather they're successes or failures. I think having an attitude of transparency and authenticity is an important part of being a effective mentor as well. Thanks so much for sharing this with our bizsugar community. I appreciate it!

Hi Brook,

Thanks for the great post on mentoring and most of all for sharing it with the BizSugar community. The advice about helping other entrepreneurs prosper is true on so many levels! And while it isn't about ROI certainly, the fact remains that you often help yourself as you help others.

If only managers thought of themselves as mentors rather than cat herders, the business world would be a better place. Helping to develop young employees to be their best is probably what I enjoy most about being a business owner. Great article, cheers
