Coach Vs. Mentor

Today, it seems like everyone’s a coach and most people have one.

But, is it enough to break the 10M barrier?

Well, it depends on two main factors.

1. The expertise of the coach

While many coaches claim expertise, it's essential to find someone who has both the practical experience and the insights to help you navigate the challenges you're facing.

• Most coaches have studied leadership, but haven’t actually led big and challenging teams.
• Many take cheap online courses that don’t require much real-world experience.
• They offer solutions without ever having built a company themselves.

As a result, most founders walk away feeling frustrated or stuck because the coach they chose didn’t truly understand their needs.

Maybe they relied on cookie-cutter advice, lacked hands-on experience, or focused on theories over actionable strategies.

It takes real experience, actionable insights, and the right kind of support.

The second factor?

2. The type of guidance founders choose

How do you identify the right guide?

Look for someone who has walked the path you’re on, brings a mix of strategy and empathy, and knows when to challenge you and when to support you.

Coach vs Mentor

Coaching isn’t about telling you what to do.

It’s about guiding you, helping you find your own answers and path forward.

Let’s be real—sometimes, you need more than just guidance.

Building a business is hard. Coaching through it? Even harder.

You need someone who truly understands the weight of every decision you make, those sleepless nights, and the risks you’re taking on.

That’s where a mentor comes in.

A mentor takes things a step further.

They share their own experiences—successes and failures—and offer tailored advice that comes from real-world experience.

They don’t just listen, they give you direction, provide insights, and sometimes, they even tell you exactly what you need to hear, even if it’s not what you want to hear.

Mentorship is about more than advice—it’s about being in the trenches with you.

And when things get tough, you need that kind of hands-on support.

Let’s go a step further

Here’s the deal: you don’t just need another coach or mentor, you need the right partner for your journey.

Someone who can focus entirely on your success, without any competing interests.

The right guide won’t sell you the latest trending strategy or push a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, they’ll help you create a tailored plan designed specifically for your challenges, strengths, and goals.

Your success shouldn’t depend on giving away equity or following a formula that worked for someone else.

It’s about finding the right tools and resources to fit your needs, and most importantly, helping you discover the solutions within yourself.

In a world full of generic advice, you deserve an approach that’s built for you.

Let’s be clear: there’s no one-size-fits-all process that will magically solve everything in your life.

But there is one person who can solve your problems: YOU.

Life is like a movie—and you’re the director.

You get to decide how the story unfolds.

Sure, we all have limitations and resources to work with, but that doesn’t mean you’re trapped. With the right support, you can rewrite the script, pivot, and take your company to the next level.

I’ve seen firsthand how powerful founders can be when they realize their own strength.

With the right mindset, tools, and support, almost nothing is off-limits.

Stop wasting time (and money) on inexperienced coaches and take a minute to identify the kind of guide who will truly boost your business.

As a founder, I’m OBSESSED about getting RESULTS with SPEED, that’s the ONLY thing that matters.
