Have you ever dreamed of finding a sustainable source of passive income? Looking to leave behind the daily grind and swap it out for something better suited to your lifestyle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentoring for extra income is an excellent way to start making more money in your own time. Even better, it\u2019s low-stress and high-reward meaning it\u2019s practically a passive source of income. Today we\u2019ll be exploring how you can flip your work\/life balance on its head, taking control of your time and empowering you to make the most of your skills in an easy-going and flexible environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Mentoring Entails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re new to the world of mentoring, or else this is the first time you\u2019ve considered mentoring for extra income, then you\u2019re probably wondering what exactly mentoring entails. In the details this can vary a lot from one Mentee to another but in broad strokes it\u2019s very simple: just be yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Mentees sign up at Career Navig8r, what they\u2019re looking for is someone who\u2019s already worked their dream job role. Some will be just starting out and may be looking for help getting through the interview stage. Others may already be working in the role, but be looking for someone with more experience to show them the ropes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter who you\u2019re mentoring however, one fact will always remain the same – they came to you because you can give them something nobody else can. Your experience<\/a> of a job role is unique to you and, no matter how granular, the lessons you\u2019ve learned could truly change your Mentee\u2019s life for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best part is that you can do it all from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a computer, a webcam, and an internet connection. From there you\u2019ll be able to hop on a call and get talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifying Your Expertise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But<\/em>, you may be wondering, if it\u2019s so easy, then why doesn\u2019t everyone become a Mentor?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone with experience in a job role has the potential to be a successful Mentor but first you have to find your Mentees. Here at Career Navig8r, we\u2019re passionate about connecting people with experience and skills to those looking to learn, but before we can do so, we\u2019ll need to know a little more about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important piece of information to establish is your expertise which, as far as we\u2019re concerned, means your previous job roles. Now, it\u2019s good to bear in mind that you don\u2019t have to list every job you\u2019ve ever worked, only those you\u2019re comfortable mentoring. After years working in the legal profession, nobody expects you to relive your days as a fast food server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a great place to consider the scope of your mentoring. For example, if you worked your way up from a front desk greeter to a CEO, the chances are you\u2019ve been through plenty of roles along the way and some will no-doubt have been more challenging than others. For that reason, it\u2019s always good to bear in mind which roles you\u2019d find easier to mentor, giving you full control over your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establishing Credibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trust is naturally important in Mentor\/Mentee relationships. Beyond your previous job roles, there are several things you can do to establish your credibility<\/a> as a source of information. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
