  • 056 | Unlocking Success: Is Hiring a Mentor a Game Changer or a Money Waster?
    Jul 9 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Is hiring a paid mentor the secret to unlocking your business’s full potential with one key move—sounds dreamy, right?

    From real-world success stories and hard-earned wisdom from those who’ve been there, and done that (like me) we're exploring the make-or-break decision of hiring a paid mentor.

    But wait, there's a catch: we'll also dish on the financial risks and rewards, so you can make a smart, informed choice. Plus, we’ll cover how to balance external advice with your own badass instincts, and introduce you to our game-changing DISC-based mentorship approach that’s as unique as you are.

    Ready to turn your business dreams into reality?


    In this episode, I discuss:

    • The pros and cons of hiring a paid mentor as a business owner.
    • How to make an informed decision to maximize your return on investment.
    • How to balance expert guidance with your own instincts.
    • The DISC-based mentorship approach, which tailors guidance to your unique personality type and business challenges, ensuring personalized support and growth.


    This episode at a glance:

    [01:50] A paid mentor is somebody who has walked the path that you want to walk. Somebody who does have subject matter expertise in that area.

    [06:10] My business needed to be in the right place, and I needed to be in the right place to receive the coaching offered.

    [09:12] It's difficult to develop your clear vision and point of view when you are beholden to other people financially

    [12:05] The goal is to create a harmonious blend of seeking mentorship and trusting your own judgment to be able to achieve success.

    [13:44] The decision to hire a mentor is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is a nuanced choice that depends on your unique business needs and your personal growth goals.
