What is the difference between a mentor and a coach? It used to be that mentors guided you through your business hurdles and coaches encouraged you in sports. Now the lines have crossed, and we hear of life coaches giving advice on all aspects of someone’s life, whether it is related to relationships, jobs or personal issues. Mentors now guide people through establishing themselves in a new career, writing a book, or other life changing event. Here are some things to think about if you are choosing between a coach and a mentor with something you want to achieve in your life.

· Do you want someone to hold you accountable for your action or inaction in a specific area? Both coaches and mentors will do this, but in different ways.

· Coaches are more likely to keep on encouraging you to do your best, while mentors will take you by the hand and lead you through the steps you need to take to achieve success.

· Mentors are usually active in the field they are helping others in, while coaches may not be doing anything more than coaching, and may never have done what they are telling you to do.

So you must decide who is the best person for you to work with to achieve your goals in your life. I have found that mentors become trusted advisors who take a personal interest in what you want to achieve, whereas a coach will simply keep cheering you on to the finish, leaving it entirely up to you to figure out what steps you must take in order to get there.
