Understanding the difference between mentors, coaches, and consultants is key for anyone looking to advance their career or business. These roles offer distinct types of support, and choosing the right one will greatly impact your success.
In this episode, I break down what each one actually does and how picking the right one (or all three) could change your career forever.
Over my 30+ years running ortho and dental practices, coaching teams, and building businesses, I’ve spent roughly $500,000 on coaches and consultants. It’s safe to say my return on investment has been several million so far in my career.
You’ll hear real-world examples of how a coach can revolutionize your mindset, why mentors offer invaluable advice (but limited hands-on help), and how consultants solve targeted challenges.
Don’t guess your way to growth. Hit play and learn more about investing in yourself for success.
