Summary
In today’s episode, I share why coaches, mentors, and teachers can speed up your journey, but they can’t do the inner work for you. I talk about getting from A to B, finding people who already sit where you want to be, and using their guidance to avoid unnecessary pain, wasted time, and expensive lessons. I also break down the difference between scheduled time and non-time, why giving away your best hours can cost you, and how small daily commitments create lasting success. True growth starts within, but the right people and systems make the path easier.
