The Work

Tell us about what you are currently working on.

I run a dream career website and a Facebook group where I help people discover a profitable and remote job they love.

I also offer individual and group coaching to take it further. Both are usually online, which allows me to take my business with me when I travel (and cleverly escape winters).

A defining moment for me was when I realized that helping people discover their ideal career is not only a legitimate business, but something completely aligned with who I really am.

Before

Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?

I was always the black sheep in this journey and my friends never had a clue of what I was doing online. Even though I'm self-taught, learning the next steps, the best practices or meeting people who could help me has always been a challenge.

The Decision

What ultimately compelled you to sign up for GrowthMentor?

I needed access to people who actually understood the world I was building in: online business, coaching, remote work. The clarity of being able to find specialists across exactly those areas made the decision easy.

Inside the Platform

What's your favorite thing about GrowthMentor?

The flexibility to schedule short, focused conversations with experts from anywhere in the world. As someone who travels constantly, that matters more than I expected.

What topics have you mostly discussed with mentors?

Career coaching frameworks, online business growth, and how to position my coaching work for a remote audience.

The Breakthrough

Is there a specific session/mentor that stands out in your mind as super helpful?

I care more about whether someone has actually walked the path than where they studied or where they're from, so I picked mentors on experience. A few stood out. Mark Cann helped me come up with creative ideas across both of my businesses and gave me a real push. Sophia Eng understood where my business was almost immediately and gave me advice I could act on. And Yasmine de Aranda was another standout conversation that left me with a clearer plan to work from.

The Transformation

How has GrowthMentor helped you?

As a piece of advice, I would rather have a shorter conversation with 2 mentors than having a longer conversation with only one mentor. Perspective is key here.

That lesson has shaped how I use GrowthMentor and how I coach my own clients. The compounding effect of multiple short, focused conversations beats one long one every time.
