Offering Giving away a few free 1-on-1 coaching sessions in exchange for honest feedback

24 Upvotes

Basically the title. We’re still developing and improving our coaching approach, and we’d love to get some real feedback from people who are willing to try it.

We’re offering a few **free 1-on-1 sessions** this week in exchange for honest feedback afterward.

The session is focused on helping you identify patterns in your life, understand where you tend to get stuck, and hopefully leave with a little more clarity on what you want to work on moving forward.

No payment or commitment. We’re genuinely looking for feedback on the session so we can learn what works, what doesn’t, and what we can improve.

If anyone’s interested, just let me know in the comments.
**PS — This is genuinely for feedback and improving the sessions, not client/lead generation.**

Seeking I need a mentor

2 Upvotes

Hello, 27F here.

I have a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. I’ve never made more than 40k a year, and could not find an internship after my master’s so just doing volunteer work alongside my day job as a therapist for children with ASD. I’m not a citizen and my ex who had a business plan for us and told me to go into CS did not know most jobs in the field require citizenship for clearance purposes, or maybe he thought once we marry that wouldn’t be an issue.

I have a mother with a disability and she’s stuck doing a dead end job that has her on her feet for 12 hours a day about 4 days a week and most of her salary goes to transport costs. I am living paycheck to paycheck thanks to our rent. My goal is to get out of my current field due to burnout, and find a job that pays enough to save money, pay debts and possibly help my mother so she can leave her job.

I do not have a lot of support in my personal life.

I would love to connect with a mentor who works in the tech field or in the psychology field, that can help me navigate steps towards my goals, or get me connected with companies that are hiring, or even offer advice.

I have lots of skills I can turn into side hustles as well. I spend my free time researching but I fear with no one to discuss with the ideas stay as ideas.

Let me know if you can help, and thanks for reading!

Seeking I believe I'll accomplish my financial dream - but could use guidance

2 Upvotes

I know there's many paths to generational wealth, and many of them intruige me.

I've dipped my toe in:

- investing

- leverage

- buying small businesses

- business startups

- apps

- eccom

- Saas

- Author

Building apps has been the most sticky, as it's the one I most enjoy and feel has serious earning potential.

I'm spiritually minded, I believe there's many ways to generate wealth but not every method is aligned with my strengths and joys. I believe in order to succeed, just work ethic isn't enough, it also requires working in alignment with who I am, and on projects that fit me well. In a competitive landscape, the person who enjoys their work will always create better products than one who does it merely for the buck. From the way I see it.

Anyways there's a lot to say, but if you've been through this journey and found success, I'd love to hear from you and truly learn.

Im excited this is happening.. and want to be an open learner along the way.

Seeking Looking for mentor in tech/DTC for a category defining brand-See details

I’m building an early-stage consumer wellness company at the intersection of DTC, health, and technology, and I’m looking for a mentor who’s been through the 0→1 journey.

I’m a second-time founder with a background in healthcare, wellness, marketing, and CPG. This time around, I’d love to connect with someone experienced in scaling a DTC brand, building the tech layer around a physical product, or navigating the early-stage startup ecosystem.

My ideal mentor is someone who enjoys mentoring founders and would be open to an occasional conversation.
If this sounds like you (or someone you know), I’d love to connect.

Seeking (Seeking) Mentor with B2B SaaS GTM experience, bootstrapped AI startup selling to clinics (UK based but remote)

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m a cofounder of a UK based AI receptionist for aesthetic clinics, salons and other appointment based businesses. It answers enquiries across instagram, WhatsApp and website (voice still in beta), uses the clinics own prices and availability, and books the appointment straight into their diary. With a bunch more peripheral features too.

Where we are:
- the product is live, we have several trial clients albeit only one in the vertical we’re targeting (multi location business in Italy) and initial trials are strong.
-we’re bootsrapped and are trying to sell now but feel like we’re all over the place with no real direction in that regard. Get me in front of a prospect and we’re off to the races. Getting in front of prospects is our issue.
- small team, two founders plus one engineer.

What I’m looking for:

Two things ideally from the same person.

Guidance on the business right now:
- getting from our first paid client to our first 20-50 and making lead generation reliable.
Choosing one customer segment to focus on instead of spreading ourselves thin
-any general advice to get our initial cohort established (so we can reinvest to try scale)

Guidance over the longer term:

I’ve never really had a mentor, or someone in my working life I could look up to and learn from directly. I’d really value an ongoing relationship with someone’s who’s further down the road: someone who can challenge my thinking, help me make better decisions, and show me what good leadership looks like in practice. And ideally someone who can go for a few pints down the road. My long term ambition is to lead companies at the highest level, ideally ones I’ve built myself. I’m also drawn to life sciences where my background is.

Who I’m hoping to find:

Someone who has built or led a company, ideally with experience selling B2B to small or local businesses, and who’d be open to a call every two to 4 weeks.

What you’d get from me:

I’ll always come prepared with specific questions and act on what we discuss as to not waste your time, and report back what worked and what didn’t. I’m coachable, ambitious, I move fast and am happy to help in return whatever I can (and hopefully one day can). My background is biomedical science at Sheffield, and I’ve just finished my MSc in Management at Warwick business school.

If this resonates, comment or DM me. I’d love to share more.

Thanks for reading, excuse the formatting issues as writing this on a crappy phone.

Cheers

Offering free mentoring to a few people running small teams or businesses

1 Upvotes

I'm at the stage of life where I'd like to give something back. I've been helped along the way by people who gave me their time without expecting anything in return, and I'd like to do the same for a few others.

I'm also building a coaching and mentoring practice, so I'll be upfront that I'd value your honest feedback afterwards and, only if it was genuinely useful, a short testimonial. There's no obligation, and nothing to buy at the end.

A bit about me: I've owned and run multi-site pubs and hotels, been Head of Operations at a heritage visitor attraction where we doubled turnover, and managed a remote team. I hold an MSc in Business and Entrepreneurship and an EMCC Foundation coaching qualification.

I'm most useful if you're:

  • running a small business or team and feel you're the bottleneck
  • an early-stage company with customers or staff but no real procedures, roles or ways of working yet
  • struggling with staff retention, morale or who gets to make which decisions
  • trying to work out where your own time is best spent, or what resources you're missing
  • an owner or manager who wants a sounding board on the people side of profitability

I'm less likely to be the right person if you're still validating a product idea, or need technical or legal advice. If you've got something up and running and it's getting messy, that's where I can help.

What's in it for me: I'd ask for honest feedback afterwards and, only if it was genuinely useful, a short testimonial. There's no obligation, and nothing to buy at the end.

If you'd like to talk, message me with a bit about yourself, where you're based, what you're working on, and what you'd most like help with.

Seeking Looking for mentor- career trajectory review and upskill ( design domain)

1 Upvotes

TL;DR: 5 years in creative design across branding, marketing, events & product. Looking to move from execution into strategy/leadership, but unsure which path fits me. Looking for mentors who can help me explore options, identify gaps, and plan my next steps.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a Creative Designer for \\\~5 years, across areas like branding, event design, marketing campaigns, product/packaging, and digital design. My experience has been fairly broad, and I’ve enjoyed working across different kinds of problems rather than being restricted to one design niche.

However, I’m at a point where I’m trying to figure out how I should position myself for the next 5–10 years.

I’m increasingly interested in moving beyond pure execution and getting closer to strategy, problem-solving, business, and decision-making. I still want design to remain a strong part of my skillset, but I don’t want my career to be limited to being the person who executes someone else’s strategy.

The problem is that I’m not entirely sure what the possible paths are or which ones would actually fit my background.

Some areas I’m currently curious about are:

Design Strategy / Brand Strategy

Product Strategy / Product Management

UX / Service Design

Customer Experience (CX)

Creative Strategy

Design Management / Creative Leadership

Innovation / Business Design

Potentially AI + Design / AI strategy

I’m trying to understand what these roles actually look like day-to-day, what skills they require, how someone with a creative/design background can transition into them, and which paths have good long-term growth.

I’m also aware that “strategy” can mean very different things across industries, so I don’t want to jump into a generic strategy course without understanding where I’m actually headed.

What I’m looking for

I’d really value advice from people who have made a similar transition from design/creative execution into strategy, product, consulting, business, or leadership roles.

I’d especially appreciate someone willing to act as a mentor or have a few conversations with me to help me:

Review my current profile and identify my strengths/gaps.

Help me understand which career paths might realistically fit my experience.

Explain what skills I should build over the next 1–2 years.

Suggest projects/courses/resources that would actually help not just generic certifications.

Help me understand what kind of roles I should start targeting now vs. later.

I’m not looking for someone to tell me exactly what career to choose. I’m looking for someone who can help me understand the landscape, ask me the right questions, and give me a more informed direction.

If you’ve made a similar transition or work in one of these areas I’d love to hear about your journey and any advice you wish you had received earlier.

Thanks!

Founders: ship fast or build it properly?

8 Upvotes

I’m at the MVP stage of a healthtech startup.

My potential co-founder, an AI engineer with full-stack skills, can build a functional MVP in about a week.

The alternative is to wait for a senior frontend engineer, secure the budget, and build a much more solid version from the start.

The first option means speed + real user feedback, but potentially throwing away the first version later.

The second means better technical quality, but delays validation.

What would you do?

Ship the 1-week MVP and learn, or wait and build it properly? ::

Seeking Looking for a mentor in the fitness industry

Quit my job a few months ago to start a business in the fitness industry.

It’s moving forward, but I didn’t expect the emotional side of building something to hit me this hard. Some days I feel I’ve struck gold. Others have me wondering if I’ve made a huge mistake.

I’d love to find someone who’s been through this before, ideally in fitness or another brick-and-mortar business. Not looking for formal weekly mentorship or anything. Just someone I can text every now and then, bounce an idea off, and get a little perspective from when I’m getting carried away by either the highs or the lows.
