Having a mentor can help because you are tapping into their knowledge which can shorten some of the learning processes, the key as always is that we need to put into practice what we learn from them and looking at WA what we learn from the training. Most mentors and coaches charge for their services.
Here at WA we can follow successful folks they do leave footprints and the community in its self is extremely helpful so think of it in the terms that you have a huge support base behind you, Elisa if that makes sense.
