You Can’t Shortcut Experience

You Can’t Shortcut Experience

In today’s online business world, it feels like everyone wants to be a “mentor.”
But here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:


👉 You can’t teach what you haven’t lived.
👉 You can’t lead someone to results you’ve never achieved.
👉 You can’t be a mentor without first being a student of the process yourself.


Real mentorship doesn’t come from theory — it comes from experience.


The best mentors have:

  • Put in the time.
  • Made the sales.
  • Faced the setbacks.
  • Learned what works and what doesn’t.

And that’s what makes their guidance valuable.


The right order is simple:

  1. Experience first.
  2. Sales second.
  3. Then mentorship.

So when you’re looking for someone to guide you, don’t just ask:
“What do they know?”


Ask: “What have they DONE?”


Because wisdom doesn’t come from ideas. It comes from action, results, and lessons learned along the way.


If you want to grow your business, find someone who’s actually walked the path ahead of you. That’s where the real value lies!
