“As a solo-founder, it is easy to have blind spots and get stuck. Having a panel of amazing people to speak to helps to motivate me”

Tell us about you and what you are working on now?

Where did you go for advice before finding GrowthMentor?

I’ve always biased towards more structured learning, i.e. online courses, books etc. to get an ontology of what needs to be known, but read blogs, attend workshops, post on slack groups and, simply asking friends, to get a more focused, first-hand sense of what I need to dive deeper into.

Why did you signup to GrowthMentor?

As a solo-founder, it is easy to have blind spots and “get lazy”.  My hack tends to be to take a break and return to it for fresh insight, but that’s not usually enough.

Having a panel of amazing people to speak to felt useful for those tough moments of objective thought.

It also keeps me accountable (i.e. shout-out to GrowthMentor’s Accountability Program), especially since the easy way out is working for someone else and collecting a pay check.

The more people I speak to, the more focused I get.

What do you enjoy most about being a member?

I love how willing and able everyone is, to share and grow together.

How has GrowthMentor helped you?

The team has been very supportive when I’ve asked (i.e. my alpha test), and have offered to help numerous times (i.e. marketing opportunities, to connect with others).

The webinars are also extremely relevant and timely.

Any mentors stick out in your mind as all-stars?

Two actually! Farzad Khosravi and Dani Hart, for being absolute stars at toughing out the rough and messy things.

Based on things you’ve discussed in calls, do you have any results to tell us about?
