“It acts as a sanity check as well for my ideas. I can know right away whether they are half-baked, or aren't worth pursuing.”

The Work
Tell us about what you are currently working on.
I'm a full-stack growth marketer who leverages all the tools necessary to facilitate growth for whatever project I'm working on.
I'm also working on a knowledge product for startup founders to help them bootstrap their PR instead of wasting thousands on agencies that get little to no results.
Next up is to validate and launch one of my other ideas, although I'm unsure of which one to choose (which is why I'm here).
Before
Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?
I err on the side of taking action, so I usually dive in a try to learn it myself. This wasted a lot of my time because I would try turbo-learning something and burn out.
I also read blogs that weren't always from people who knew what they were doing and took courses.
Although I never really had a sounding board or community that could help me validate my ideas until I found Growth Mentor.
The Decision
What ultimately compelled you to sign up for GrowthMentor?
I needed help validating ideas and carving out a path to bringing them to life.
Inside the Platform
What's your favorite thing about GrowthMentor?
I love how I can pick someone to chat with who has done something successful before.
I don't have many people like that where I live.
It's also more convenient than having to sign up for an in-person meetup where you don't know who is or isn't qualified.
What topics have you mostly discussed with mentors?
Idea validation and how to actually launch a startup were the two big ones. I tend to have a million ideas, so a lot of my sessions were about working out which one to pursue and carving a path to get it live.
The Breakthrough
Is there a specific session/mentor that stands out in your mind as super helpful?
Farzad Khosravi, hands down. He helped me carve out a clear path and figure out where to focus my energy, which is exactly what I needed as someone with a million ideas. His approach got me to tackle the highest-leverage tasks first instead of trying to do everything at once.
The Transformation
How has GrowthMentor helped you?
I got my first knowledge product launched so far. He helped me carve a clear path and decide where to focus my energy best.
I have a million ideas and always want to dive into the problem. His approach allowed me to choose the most high-leverage tasks first.
So far, it has given me a clear path to launching a startup/business.
It acts as a sanity check as well for my ideas. I can know right away whether they are half-baked, or aren't worth pursuing.
The Verdict
What three adjectives would you use to describe GrowthMentor?
