Launch Faster, Go Further: What Your First 90 Days With a Mentor Should Look Like

The most important phase of working with a mentor isn’t years down the road—it’s the first 90 days, when the right guidance can launch you and keep you moving.

Too many new business owners spend those first weeks in “getting ready” mode—tweaking logos, fiddling with websites, and second-guessing every decision. Without structure, those first three months slip away, and so does the excitement that got you started.

That’s where having a mentor changes the game. You’re not just dreaming about what you could build—you’re actually building it with someone who’s done it before.

The first 90 days with a mentor should be about two things: momentum and mastery. You want quick wins to keep you engaged and a framework that sets you up for long-term success.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Launch first, polish later — You don’t need everything perfect to start. You need to get in motion.

• Learn by doing — Theory is important, but results come from action taken in real time with feedback.

• Have a proven path — A clear step-by-step process that’s been tested, not guessed at.

That’s why when I work with a new partner, we don’t spend months “preparing.” We launch in the first 10 days—so you have something real to build on—then spend the next 120 days side-by-side, building systems, learning skills, and growing your business with confidence.

Instead of wandering through the “figure it out” phase, you’re moving with purpose, knowing exactly what to focus on each week.

If you’re looking for a mentor, here’s what to expect (and ask for) in your first 90 days:

• A clear starting point — No fluff, no guesswork. You know your first moves and why they matter.

• Structured support — Calls, check-ins, or messages that keep you on track and answer your questions fast.

• Systems that scale — Tools and processes that work even when you’re not “on” 24/7.

• Skill building in real time — Learning the “how” while actually doing the work.

The right mentor doesn’t just hand you a plan—they roll up their sleeves and build with you.

If you’re ready to go from “thinking about it” to actually launching in the next 10 days—and have the next 120 mapped out so you can keep going—📩 let’s talk about what that could look like for you.
