You shouldn’t feel silly… you didn’t take the plunge and you didn’t spend your money. Even better you followed your gut and your critical thinking. But you’re out there looking to make the leap, which is important. What field are you in that you’re having trouble finding others who took the leap?

I wonder if you and I walked away from the same scam? I found a business coach podcast. I liked her content so wanted to learn more about working privately with her.

There was serious sticker shock when I asked her rates. But I figured she makes these great promises and is probably worth the investment.

It all fell apart for me when I could barely find a web presence. She’s only on instagram and a simple website. She doesn’t rank on Google. No news articles or PR for her.

Realized if she’s so great at social media and marketing, where is she online?

My gut feeling was solidified when she had a live call and six people showed up and no one had questions for her.

I’ve found A LOT of success on Mercari. I had an Etsy shop and left for a number of reasons. Mercari’s fees are more reasonable (e.g. you only pay for the ad if the item sells) and the mailing, taxes, logistics work fine. Try it out and see if you like it.

I just recently found out about SCORE. I have a great mentor. What I did when I signed up was request a specific mentor. I went through the mentor bios and industries and found someone. He’s across the country but I didn’t care.

I didn’t realize how problematic the mentors can be I just figured I didn’t want to get stuck with someone outside my field who couldn’t help.
