Why I believe you don't need a mentor

In my experience, I did better without a mentor. It was when I went my own direction that I finally saw some success as an entrepreneur.

You see, in my case, the “mentor” I had was rich but wasn't adapting with the changing times.

In the video, I share more about the story, but basically, I learned that some mentors are stuck in the past and don't know how to adapt.

Also, they can never know you as well as you know yourself. You know whether you are an introvert, extrovert, big picture person, detail-oriented person, etc.

You need to do something that works best for who you are and what your natural talents apply to.

Furthermore, with all the books, courses, videos, blog posts, podcasts, and more out there, you don't need a mentor. You just need to spend a good amount of time learning from quality sources.
