You don't know what you don't know

Reading time: 4 minutes

If you’re reading this...

I already know you have big goals—or else you wouldn’t be here.

And I also know that you haven’t achieved them yet—or else you wouldn’t be here.

I was in the same spot for a very long time.

15 months ago, I started posting on 𝕏 with a goal in mind:

$10k/month

I experimented with everything.

Tried anything to achieve it.

Some things worked.

Some didn’t.

I solved a lot of bottlenecks—both personal and technical.

And the results show for it.

But...

I still couldn’t figure out how to make real money.

One thing I did know:

I wanted to do it in the right way.

Most people on 𝕏 fake their results or social proof.

Sure, it might work in the short term.

But long-term?

They fail.

And I wasn’t willing to lose my integrity for money.

So I kept experimenting.

For the longest time, I refused to get a mentor.

Why?

  • I didn’t know what ROI I would get.

  • I thought I could figure it out myself.

  • I didn’t want to copy someone else.

And honestly?

I probably would have figured it out eventually.

But...

You don’t know what you don’t know

So I made the decision to invest in a mentor.

And if you have the budget...

I think you should too.

Here’s why:

You have blindspots

A business is a complex system.

I thought I knew everything about business.

(I binged Alex Hormozi videos, after all)

But I was completely wrong.

Videos give you a general understanding of business.

But they leave out crucial details.

Details you don’t even know exist.

Can you figure them out on your own?

Yes.

But that takes a tremendous amount of trial and error that 99% of the people don’t have the focus for.

And that’s just to solve one bottleneck.

But the truth is...

You don’t have just one.

You have dozens of blind sport.

And you only find the next one after solving the current one.

How many problems are ahead?

10?

50?

100?

There are only two ways to find out:

1) Figure it out for yourself

Most people can’t deal with the uncertainty.

And they don’t have the patience.

2) Get a mentor

A mentor will tell you exactly what your bottlenecks are.

And how long it will take to fix them.

You don’t know what’s high leverage

For the longest time, I thought I was spending my time on high-leverage tasks.

I was getting results.

So I assumed I was on the right path.

  • More followers

  • More engagement

  • More subscribers

But I wasn’t making money.

So I doubled down on the things I thought would make me money.

  • I spend 50+ hours building my website.

    (because I thought it would help promote my offer)

  • I spend 2+ hours a day networking.

    (because everyone says that’s where the opportunities are)

  • I spend 20+ hours planning and building a funnel.

    (that didn’t work)

The problem?

I had no idea what was actually high-leverage.

The only people who really know what’s high-leverage are the ones who have already achieved your goal.

Consuming their content isn’t enough.

Because what they did doesn’t always apply to your situation.

A good mentor doesn’t just tell you what they did...

They tell you what you should do.

Specifically for your situation.

You’re missing the ’how’

Watching free content on X or YouTube gives you a false sense of clarity.

It’s great because it guides you in the right direction.

But you’re still clueless on the implementation.

They give you the ‘’what’’.

But not the ‘’how’’.

Sure, you can figure it out.

But it will take you 3x as long.

For every problem, there are at least 3 possible solutions.

You need to test which one works.

That means trial and error.

Setbacks.

Wasted time.

Every month spend on trial and error is a month you could have been making money—if you had just invested in a mentor.

Every setback breaks your confidence.

Every win builds it back up.

How many setbacks can you handle before you quit?

Final thoughts

Every successful person has invested in a mentor.

  • Alex Hormozi worked for free to learn everything about running a gym.

  • Charlie Morgan, Andrew Kirby and many others we know had Sam Ovens as their mentor.

  • Warren Buffet had a mentor.

  • Dan Koe had one.

And many, many others.

Try to find a hyper-successful person who didn’t have one.

I’m sure they exist—but it’s rare.

It’s arrogant to think we’ll figure it all out alone.

I hesitated for a long time.

I thought crypto was a better investment.

Getting a mentor seemed risky.

But the potential ROI?

Much higher.

But since we always preach taking risks...

Why not take this one?

Much love,

Tibor

PS:

If you're serious about reaching your goals faster, find someone who’s already done it.

That’s what I did. And it changed everything.
