So this topic has been on my mind.

The logic of:
- all superstars have coaches.
- anything you want to master as fast as possible, you would get a coach (someone who has personally been and achieved the outcome you desire.)
- There seems to be massive upside in a coach and very little downside? (They can 10x your thinking/profits/progress but how much damage can they really do?)

My hesitation comes because 90% of the time when I hear that a coach is highly recommended and a real game changer, it comes from a self serving bias.

Why do you/don’t you have a coach?

Throw your thoughts at me.

p.s. Any recommendations for a great coach whose been there and done it… welcome.
