I am your host, Susie Batista.Susie Batista (00:05)And before being a full-time property developer, I built and sold a luxury interior design firm. That chapter taught me far more than how to run a business. It taught me about standards, pressure, and confidence. This podcast is a space to talk honestly about money, mindset, and all the small decisions that shape our lives over time. If you're building something in business, in property, or in yourself, you're in the right place.Susie Batista (00:33)This is Just Build It. Welcome to episode five of the Just Build It podcast. Once again, thank you for sticking around. This episode has been Requested, actually. And when I asked more people about it, I got the same response that people are curious and slightly confused about what it's like to work with a mentor or a coach. And it's something that I bang on about all the time. So this episode is dedicated to mentorship. It's going to be about what it is, what it isn't, and why it really matters, and how it absolutely changed my life. So just to be clear, mentorship isn't about motivation so much or validation, or somebody to just cheer you on and say, Yeah, come on, you can do it. I found that mentorship is really about making quality decisions. So a lot of the things that a mentor will talk to you about or a coach, you know. You know what you need to do, but you just get so confused. There's so many paths, there's so many different directions that you just don't quite know how to do it so you don't do it. And a mentor will absolutely hold you accountable.Susie Batista (02:08)And most people don't need more information. We've got a wealth of information at our fingertips. And now with ChatGPT and so much content on social media, there's loads and loads of information out there. But we need better judgement and sharper priorities and fewer expensive mistakes. Oh, my God. I've got three mentors now, which is crazy. And each one has saved me thousands. Trust me, thousands. And each one has made me thousands. And I think this is what people can't get their heads around, the upfront cost of a mentor. And when When I first got my coach, and I'll go into a little bit about coaching and mentorship, but I started with a business coach, and that was somebody that I found after doing an incredible Tony Robbins seminar. And I just asked somebody who is very, very... He's well known in the area. He's got a very established magazine. He knows everybody. And after this Tony Robbins seminar, I messaged him said, I need a coach. I need a business coach, and I need him to be the best business coach you know. And he just straight away sent me a message back within minutes with the name of my business coach, which is Mr. Carl Morris, absolute hero of mine.Susie Batista (03:48)And before I started working with Carl, my design business was okay. I had a couple of members of staff. We had a very small office, and the Projects were coming in, but I did not have a clue how to run a business. Not a clue. Anyway, I got Carl, and he helped me transform that business into a systemised, well-managed, well-led, happy team. I knew what cash was coming in. I knew what cash was coming out. I knew what made me profit. He pushed my boundaries massively. And ultimately, he was the one that helped me sell the business. This is a funny story. I was just going to close the business down. I decided that property was what I wanted to do. The demand and the stress and everything of working with these footballers and high net-worth clients, it gets to you in the end.
