Do Accountability Partners, Coaches, and Mentors Matter?

Starting a side hustle is a great way to earn extra income, pursue a passion, or test a business idea. However, going it alone can be a daunting and challenging experience. This is where a trustworthy mentor comes in – someone who has been in your shoes before and has experience building a successful side hustle.

In this update, we’ll explore why starting a side hustle is better with a mentor and how to find the right one.

Benefits of Having a Mentor for Your Side Hustle

1. Expert advice and guidance: Sometimes, searching on Google is not enough (plus, there’s a lot of misinformation out there). Interacting with a mentor in real time is helpful as they can provide actionable insights and perspectives you might not have considered on your own. They also know how to fast-track your journey in a specific side hustle – saving you time and effort.
2. Accountability and motivation: When you have a mentor, you’re more likely to stay on track and motivated to achieve your goals. Your mentor can hold you accountable for your progress and offer encouragement and support when you hit roadblocks.
3. Networking opportunities: Your mentor may have a network of contacts in the side hustle you’re interested in, which can open doors for you and help you make valuable connections. For example, many freelancers of the Fud community still get their clients the old fashion way – from referrals.
4. Faster learning curve: By learning from your mentor’s experiences, you can avoid common mistakes and pitfalls and accelerate your learning curve. This can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run. [Read More --> LinkedIn]
