Have you ever wanted a mentor? The process of finding a mentor to help you and your company grow can be daunting and scary. Geoff Woods is the host of podcast Mentee and has been documenting his journey of being an employee to becoming an entrepreneur.

On today’s episode of Launch Grow Joy Geoff and I discuss how he’s formed close relationships with some serious powerhouse mentors and why he’s so passionately sharing those experiences and the power of a mentor with others.

More About This Show

Geoff became invested in building a new company when his previous job slashed his income by 40%. He decided to look at the five people he spent the most time with and decided that in order to build passive income, he had to be around more influential people.

Since beginning this journey, Geoff has gained valuable insights on how to make relationships matter, how to add value to other people and to gain the perfect mentor/mentee relationship through his five-step process.

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

How can a mentoring relationship help your business grow and your goals be achieved?

The five steps to gain a mentor and make yourself accessible.

What is the relationship “bank account”?

Why adding value to others ultimately helps you.

And so much more!

Geoff believes that having a mentor is not just an introductory process, it’s a habit to create for life. His five-step process includes diagnosing the ideal mentor, the ability to discuss opportunity constantly, the necessity of getting “out there”, and being more interested than being interesting.

Geoff owes his success and his business relationships to his five-step process, but he accredits the rise of his journey to his ability to network and add value to other people. He truly believes that the key to making the relationship work is to be honest with where you need help and to be courageous and ask for help.

A significant piece of advice Geoff gives is to continue to inspect your approach and to investigate what is working and what is not working. He says making sure your requests and your personality resonate are of the utmost importance.

In addition to this, he believes there is no specific timeframe to follow and to focus on building the relationship steadily - just keep it going!

Geoff’s journey from salesperson to entrepreneur has been uplifting to hear, and the advice he provides is truly remarkable. We cover the details of his process as well as his advice on how to gain and maintain the relationships you want, so be sure to tune in!
