Are You Starting a Business/Side-Hustle? Is Hiring a Mentor Your Secret Weapon or Costly Mistake?
Starting a business is exciting, and as we have discussed before, it is the quickest way to build a life of time and financial freedom. Having a mentor can also be incredibly beneficial during this journey.
But it can seem daunting. Business models, marketing, finance, investors, strategy for a start.
There is no end of advice online about making repeated mistakes and consistently bouncing back from them. But what if there was a guide on the path? Someone who had done what you had done before and could help you navigate your journey?

This blog explores the pros and cons sprinkled with some of my own experiences.
