Do You Actually Need a Mentor?
10:45|Most people say they don’t need a mentor.Usually because they don’t want to admit they’re guessing.You can figure it all out yourself… but it’s slower, more expensive, and full of avoidable mistakes.

Very few hold up when you dig underneath.Buy well and you build momentum.Buy wrong and you inherit stress, thin margins, and a business that depends entirely on you.
