"SBA Thrive Program: 'It's a great program, lots of great research on its effectiveness'"

Paul Zelizer 00:07:50 00:07:58

Viral Topic: The Value of Knowledge and Networking in Consulting

Quote: "In 9 months, I've learned more than in my 15 years of business previously about that particular topic."

Paul Zelizer 00:09:58 00:10:07

The Importance of Holistic Thinking in Mentorship: "I am thinking more holistically asking better questions, and my clients are getting better results. So I want that for you."

Paul Zelizer 00:11:49 00:12:08

"Using LinkedIn to Attract Higher Level Opportunities: "LinkedIn for social entrepreneurs. If you wanted to, we could use my strategy session format to do a LinkedIn profile review, we'll do things like look at your headshot, your timeline photo, your bio, your about section, your experience, show and tailor them all to your ideal client."

Paul Zelizer 00:15:50 00:16:07

"The Importance of Understanding Your Business Model: What's the product, show, how are you providing value to your customers or clients?" "The Relevance of Business Training and Experience: How much business training show experience do you have?" "The Holistic Approach to Running a Sustainable Business: They can have a mentor that can be a thought partner, but they're gonna have a different relationship to kind of the breadth of knowledge that one would wanna know to successfully run a business show in a sustainable way that really provides quality of life and well-being."

Paul Zelizer 00:16:31 00:16:35

The Importance of Formal Business Training: "My original training is a mental health. I was an entrepreneur who was excited to go into business for myself, and I didn't have formal business training... that was one of the things that prevented me from starting my business earlier."

Paul Zelizer 00:17:52 00:18:32

The Importance of Understanding Your Target Audience: "They've created something show, it isn't quite what the people they either they don't know who exactly they're trying to sell it to. They just think that they need to, you know, push more show and get it out to more people on TikTok or a YouTube channel or whatever. But the fundamental issue is they don't totally understand show, who they're trying to help, what the problem is, and the product or the service that they built doesn't fit really show, there's more friction there because it's not dialed in, and more marketing muscle isn't necessarily gonna help them move the needle show on their business in a way that also provides quality of life, etcetera."

Paul Zelizer 00:20:02 00:20:17

HR Mentoring and Building Teams: "You know, building teams and creating sustainable cultures and healthy workplaces, not just hiring and making sure you're getting somebody, you know, that's a good candidate, but how do you keep people? How do you promote from within, etcetera?"

Paul Zelizer 00:22:34 00:22:41

"Areas of expertise and where they're just out of scope to help you in any sort of, you know, beyond beginner kind of a way... I'm out of scope here. Let me get you to somebody who knows more than I do and is trained to answer these kind of questions."

Paul Zelizer 00:24:45 00:25:09

The Importance of Assessing a Coach's Skill Set: "So when you're assessing, again, a coach, a mentor, make sure you know what their top areas are, and maybe that's why you originally show them, but do an assessment of their their holistic personhood, their skill set as a professional in a holistic way, and don't just get limited to the 2 or 3 things they might be known for."

🌟THREAD🌟 Finding a mentor who thinks holistically can make a huge difference in your personal and professional growth. Let me share with you some examples from my own experiences that have shaped my coaching journey. #Mentorship #Coaching #HolisticApproach 1/ In my work as a business coach for social entrepreneurs, I was selected by the United States SBA for their Thrive program. This accelerator aimed to help local businesses grow and overcome challenges. The 8 modules covered everything from leadership to marketing and legal compliance. It stretched me and helped me grow as a coach. #SBA #BusinessAccelerator 2/ Despite not being an expert in all areas, being a part of the SBA Thrive program made me a better coach. By being exposed to a well-designed curriculum and collaborating with local experts and fellow business owners, I learned to approach coaching in a more holistic way. #CoachingGrowth #HolisticApproach 3/ Another example comes from my role as a consultant for New Mexico Angels, the largest network for early-stage investing in the state. While I initially joined to support membership and sponsorship, I ended up gaining invaluable insights into the world of angel investment and deal structuring. #AngelInvestors #DealStructuring 4/ Through my experiences with New Mexico Angels, I've learned more in 9 months about early-stage investing than in my 15 years of business before. This knowledge has enabled me to better serve my clients, even if I'm not the expert in these areas. I know when to ask the right questions and involve the right people. #InvestmentInsights #ClientService 5/ The key takeaway here is that being exposed to different perspectives and knowledge areas can make you a more holistic mentor or coach. You can guide your clients through various aspects of their business, even if you're not the primary expert. Embrace continuous learning and collaboration. #HolisticMentorship #ContinuousLearning 6/ So, when seeking mentorship, look for someone who values a holistic approach. They may not have all the answers, but their open-mindedness and willingness to learn will be invaluable in your own growth journey. Find mentors who can challenge you and help you see beyond the traditional "nail and hammer" approach. #SeekingMentorship #OpenMindedness 7/ Remember, a holistic mentor can provide you with a well-rounded perspective and expose you to new ideas and opportunities. Don't limit yourself to mentors who specialize in just one area. Embrace the power of a holistic approach. Your positive impact and business success depend on it. #HolisticApproach #PositiveImpact End/ Thanks for joining me in this thread! Let's continue to seek out mentors who can help us grow holistically and make a positive impact through our businesses.
