Do you have a mentor or are you self educated fully?

- When you first started out, did you invest in GURUS, Mentors Or Books?

Or all three?

- What helped you GROW?

There is a difference between a mentor and a paid coach.  No such thing as a national mentor or whatever.  Mentors are wise and experienced and help you because they like you.  Paid coaches are... yup. Big difference

I ordered two inexpensive courses like Carelton Sheets and Success Quadrant early on.  They were worth the small investment.  Also a lot of books. Used, borrowed from the library or new.  Now I buy books by newer authors I like just to support them and give them away to aspiring new folks.

If brand new again, I'd go with books.  Turn off all devices and read.  Then apply as you learn.
