After a few week’s hiatus Work at Home Tip Monday is back! This week we’re going to discuss how finding someone to mentor under is a great way to get your feet wet in the work from home world.

Whether you want to be a Virtual Assistant, Internet Marketer, a Direct Sales Rep or something else, it’s always a good idea to find someone who is already in the field and watch them and what they are doing to get a better feel for that particular career or path.

For me personally, I’ve had various mentors in my time as a work at home mom. They’ve ranged from other established virtual assistants and internet marketers to affiliate managers and more. No matter whether it’s just one or many, mentors can help to make your transition to working from home easier.

As a VA, I also have the opportunity to work with clients who have allowed me to learn as I go so to speak. From those experiences I not only grow my business by being able to offer more services to future clients, but also have the ability to see exactly how the tasks I perform for them affect their business.

Even if you’re already established with a work at home job or business, it’s always a smart move to continue with the learning process.

That’s my two cents on the subject and here’s another work at home mom’s thoughts on the subject of mentoring.

Find someone who is successful in the work-at-home field you’ve chosen, a mentor, if you will. Watch what they do and ask their advice.

I think it also makes it a lot easier if you can intern or apprentice under them. If they don’t have the time, ask them to suggest someone who is willing to take you under their wing for a while.
