New: Free Mentoring Program for Craft Business Owners

Filed Under: Miscellaneous

I’ve been looking for a way to help connect experienced Silhouette and Cricut small business owners with new business owners for a while. The logistics of it have always proved difficult, so I’ve pushed it aside several times. Then, Facebook came through with a mentoring program that is available in the Facebook groups (this is one of those updates I briefly mentioned in yesterday’s blog post). Now, I don’t have to push it aside anymore. So, let’s look at the Cutting for Business mentoring program.

What Hopes Do I Have for a Mentoring Program?

My wishes with this mentoring program are simple: I’m giving both mentors and mentorees a way to connect with each other. I hope both users gain a crafty friend who has common interests. I hope mentorees feel comfortable asking their mentor questions to become more confident in their own businesses. I hope mentors see the craft business world in a different way.

How to Become a Mentor

If you are an experienced Silhouette or Cricut business owner who would like to sign up to be a mentor to a newer business owner, follow these steps:

  1. Join the Cutting for Business Insider’s Club. (New members are approved on Mondays.)
  2. After group approval, visit the group on Facebook.
  3. From the left hand side, select ‘Mentorship’ or click this link. New: Free Mentoring Program for Silhouette Portrait or Cameo and Cricut Explore or Maker Craft Business Owners - by cuttingforbusiness.com

  5. Fill out a brief profile about yourself. Include what your business specialty is and what you can offer.
  6. After completing your profile, browse members who are searching for mentors. Click the ‘Offer to Mentor’ button and start a relationship with your new mentoree.

How to Sign Up for Mentoring

Good to Know

There’s no pay for mentors and no cost to mentorees. This is a voluntary program designed for two people with a common interest to give and receive help.

      You can definitely sign up for both positions. Unfortunately, I’m not available as a mentor.
