I didn’t have room to fit this in but before I started this company my first company bombed in late 2019 when I was 23 and it left me in a ton of debt and my finances in shambles.
I met my mentor when I was seven years ago when I was 18. He was very successful and built/sold a company in the 1980s
I’m still paying everything off to this day but my mentor (who is 75 years old and a longtime entrepreneur) last year offered to pay off the very high interest loan I had. I’ve been paying him back without fail.
