Latest News from Business Mentoring Noosa

June 9, 2020 By BMN

Can we guess you are probably feeling anxious about the year ahead? 

What would you say to a ‘12 month Mentoring Program’ at a Super Low cost

As we emerge from these tough times for our business community with many struggling to turn a profit due to insufficient customers spending less money, it’s likely the next year or two will be challenging for most as we begin to rebuild.

BMN are here to help build a more robust local business community and we invite you to explore the possibilities and benefits of mentoring.

Whilst we all welcome the easing of restrictions they are unlikely to be completely removed for some time. As we absorb new requirements into our ways of doing business it is clear that many of us will need to adapt to new ways of plying our trade.

Enterprises that are customer facing will have to adapt to new protocols and those that trade at arm’s length will have new rules to follow.

Now more than ever, an experienced individual standing outside your business and looking in on a regular basis would be incredibly helpful and supportive.

Established for 8 years and committing their time to mentor over 450 businesses in the Noosa and Sunshine Coast precincts, Business Mentoring Noosa stands ready to assist.

Our 21 mentors have served as owners and/or at board level of all sized enterprises.  They come with career long experience in asking the right questions and assisting you in finding the answers to the often-complex twists and turns of “doing business successfully”.

BMN offer a full 12 months mentoring program at a cost of only $195* and this offer is available to all business owners in our Sunshine Coast community.
(The demand for our free mentoring offer last month has now been fully subscribed and unfortunately we cannot give any more free positions at this time)

For more information on the Noosa Business Mentoring program visit: https://bmn.org.au/

If you’d like an experienced business mentor supporting you over the next 12 months whilst you navigate your business through these tough times make sure you are quick to apply to secure your 12-month program.

Complete and submit the form which can be found under the ‘APPLY FOR MENTORING’ button on our home page. https://bmn.org.au/

If you know other business owners that may appreciate 12 months mentoring at an extremely low cost, please pass this on to them.

*all our mentors give their time freely; the fee of $195 covers all insurance, admin and associated costs of BMN

Is Your Business Bloated?

May 21, 2019 By BMN

In an organisation of any size that has been around for a while, your Management Organisation Chart will most likely have a bad case of bloat.

This can be for all sorts of reasons including:
Adding more staff to support weak staff in place rather than replacing them.
Not letting “nice people” go – perhaps to (allegedly) maintain morale.
Takeovers and mergers not accompanied by staff adjustments…
To resolve business bloat, we look at “Span of Control”, which refers to the number of direct reports a manager should have.
