31. The 6 types of support every leader needs and 4 things to look out for when choosing a coach

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So many of us get caught up in the different types of support that we need.  Sometimes we think we only need financial support, or bookkeeping support, or tax accounting, or team support.

When seeking the kind of support I talk about in this episode, it is important to check whether your mentor has walked down the path you are currently walking on.
