Coaches are a good idea! I have a few super big-wig mentors too that are extremely helpful. It seems like those who are successful really do want to help those who are working towards it. And mentors don’t cost you money either if you simply ask if they will mentor you. Some of them won’t do it but others (millionaires and billionaires I’ve noticed) love to help. It seems to me that it’s like playtime for them to help the wee ones.

I suggest having more than one. Of course, I’m a dork and I love homework.

When I embarked on setting up a new business in a foreign country whilst navigating a difficult relationship I knew I needed someone to bounce things off of. Most of the time I just bitch about how everyone is pissing me off, but once in a while there’s some real insight from our conversation.

He also pushes me to think about what “my gut” says in any given situation. That’s pretty helpful too.

I also have a super supportive family, but they’re not always able to invest the time and energy into hearing the minutia. Neither are friends. Life coaching is going to get bigger because of this IMHO.

my older bro is good for that too, though of course, family like i said, won’t be as objective.
