Stop Doing It Alone: Why Mentors Beat DIY Every Time
Manage episode 506979116 series 3293447
In this Wisdom Wednesday, I talk about one of the biggest mistakes first-time entrepreneurs make: trying to do everything by themselves. I break down why the “self-made” badge slows your growth, keeps you stuck in the same problem loop, and makes an already lonely journey even lonelier.
Here’s what I cover:
- The hidden costs of DIY: slower results, repeated mistakes, and burnout.
- Why community and mentors help you spot root causes—and fix them faster.
- The pride/victim trap (“no one helped me”) and how to escape it by asking better questions.
- My own mentor timeline: from cold-emailing my first mentor to hosting a 200+ person class four months into real estate, to the coach who helped me hit a $20K day—and coached me through a rough 2024.
- Opportunity cost vs. price tags (and the “ignorance tax” Alex Hormozi talks about).
If you want to go far, go together. Find people who’ve done what you want to do, plug into a solid community, and let their playbooks shorten your path.
