Is it possible to be a long-distance coach or mentor? Sure it is and I have been doing this for many years now. As a Founder of a Franchise System with units operating and providing service in 450 cities, 110 major markets, 23 states and four countries, being a long-distance mentor was essential. Is that hard to do? Why yes it is hard work and it means operating on different time zones and lots of travel, a strong memory and understanding of local dynamics in my case, as our civilization is a little different in different places. Now our business is a Mobile Car Wash Franchising Company; CarWashGuys.com but do not let the unique-ness of our business model scare you. In fact long distance mentoring and coaching is as similar for what I do as almost any endeavor with a little fine-tuning to fit the scenario of course. Now then in my retirement I enjoy mentoring and coaching and was asked if I might mentor a young entrepreneur in Chicagoland. I agreed, but since I do not live in any one City, because I travel full time; http://www.carwashguys.com/blitz.html I will have to answer the questions via online and asked our entrepreneur to send in any questions they might have for me. This way I can assist them and perhaps use older material to answer the same question I may have been answering for others over the last 20-years. Now then, also understand that new questions should be written down, re-fined and answered and saved for the benefit of others as well. Consider all this in 2006. |
