Hello everyone

I would like to hear your opinion on buying the help of a mentor to start my first business.

I am currently working with a mentor, but he is building his business and he is still groping a lot to find himself. Does he have the ideal profile to be a good mentor from there? How do you recognize them?

He publicly boasts of having me fall into these marketing pitfalls of which he has the secret. But I have the impression that I am dealing with an bad deal more than a well-established marketing strategy. I'm also afraid that my business will also be built on these failings.

I paid him 4000 euros for his help. How do I know if it is a good investment?

I'm not like him, but I don't have any experience and he talks a lot about these successes.

I need an external opinion that by definition is more objective. Could you help me, please?

Thanking you in advance.

Sincerely. Sebastian.
