Yes. And NO! As Ann suggests, you'll need guidance and accountability. But rather than looking for those things from friends, family, or other connections you may have, I think you should hire a coach or join a paid mastermind group.

My reasons boil down to one word: commitment. By paying for the guidance you need, you are demonstrating your commitment to your success, to yourself, to those close to you, and to the person(s) you are asking for help.

By receiving payment from you, your coach or group becomes committed to you and to your success. And you become entitled to expect that commitment.

Now I offer "guide dog" coaching via professional learning partnerships, so it's to be expected that I'd favor that way of gaining the guidance and accountability you're looking for. But over the years I've used both methods to get the advice I needed and experienced the difference.

Too often, those we seek out for mentoring have a pre-existing relationship with us that colors their ability to provide the objective, even uncomfortable, feedback we really need. Or they have no relationship and, thus, are not invested in our success or not familiar enough to recognize whether we need a nudge on the shoulder or a kick in the butt.

Coaches are trained and paid to find out, to help you dig for answers beyond the obvious, and stick with you through some trial-and-error, if that's what it takes.
