“If you don't believe in yourself 100%, hiring a consultant is going to do nothing for you. Or bringing in a friend who can tell you exactly what you. Or hiring a consultant and saying, I need you to hold my hand through this. Because I mean, literally, I need you to walk me through this step by step.”
