 The following are just a few excerpts from the many written comments received from small business clients who have received assistance from the Mentor Resources of Tasmania, Business Mentor Program:
“We would like to thank you initially for your assistance and for our mentor, GL. We believe that this is a wonderful service for small business and we really enjoyed our first meeting with GL. He has a great deal of knowledge to offer, not only to us but to many others in our position. Client No. 5
“This program has enormous potential for good.” Client No. 11
“Both KM and SP were very apt mentors. They both applied their own forms of encouragement. It’s impossible to describe how fundamentally helpful this is. And it can only work so well coming from an independent, a fellow businessman rather than a consultant.” Client No. 19
“I would like to say from my point of view that MF was a welcome relief for me to talk to. He quickly grasped my problems and offered some very practical advice. I did mention to him that it was lovely to discuss business with a business person who understands and is genuinely interested – as family and friends quickly tire of business discussions.” Client No. 104
“I have no doubt that without our mentor we would no longer be surviving as a small business and would have incurred huge legal expenses. The problems we were faced with were to us, unsurmountable. From our first contact with our mentor we felt confident that we were no longer out of our ‘league’ and this was a very reassuring element during a time we were finding extremely stressful. Our mentor was at all times very professional, willing and available to handle all aspects of our concerns. We have nothing but praise for this wonderful man.” Client No. 345
“Thank you for your help. I may need help again when I get the project underway, hopefully in the next few months, I will let you know how I am going. Thanks again.” Client No. 543
“I found it extremely useful to talk to someone completely outside my business whom I wasn’t employing and who could be completely objective. It was reassuring that J. thought my business worth pursuing. The main benefit of the mentoring service in my case was the reassurance that we were headed in the right direction.” Client No. 606
“A wonderful program, as fairly young business prop’s with no previous experience or training – we were in dire need of guidance & to ‘bounce’ ideas of someone knowledgeable with a wealth of experience. I truly hope this program continues for many years to come.” Client No. 625
