Mentorship gives you an order of magnitude more knowhow than reading a book.
- Mentorship gives you an order of magnitude more knowhow than reading a book.
- First, because they tell you the real situation, unfiltered, not something they have to simplify in a book or sanitize to avoid angering the other people.
- Second, because it's not a thing you're reading about after the fact where all you can be is passive.
- You're in the arena (indirectly) in the loop, trying to help solve the puzzle.
- Real world experience is still way richer… but there's only so many hours in the day.
- Mentorship scales more easily and gives you more leverage to increase knowhow acquisition.
- Win-win!
