Before taking business advice, ask this one question: Is this coming from your experience or observation? I started my first business when I was 19 years old. If it wasn't for the mentors that I've had over the years, I would not be where I am today. When I started Pinnacle Global Network, I knew that the strategic advisory, that one-on-one mentorship, was going to be a critical piece. But I also knew that I didn't want mentors or coaches that had just gotten a certification, that didn't have the experience, experience, the years of wisdom. And so our team of 40 mentors, they have all built very successful companies. They are highly vetted. And so when they're working with our clients, they get it. They know what it's like. They know the struggle that they're facing, and they know the pathway to get them where they want to go.
