My advice: Outside investment should be part of a plan. First, figure out your goals (6 months, 12 months, 24 months) for life and business. If 6, 12 and 24 all pretty much look the same to you, then you don’t need an investor. If 24 is supposed to be 4x where you are now with the business and the revenue, then you probably need the investor. PS: Advisors are always good, with or without their money.
