I'm talking about not even an advisory board, but
You can hire somebody like as a contractor that will be your advisor.
I think is a huge mistake, especially in this day and age, because we have a big asymmetry of information in our field.
There is very little available to learn, uh, because we're all very cagey because competition.
But um at the end of the day, people know a lot of the stuff and how it worked for them internally and I highly, highly encourage you to not try to wing it on your own.
Uh I'm actually a good one.
Many advisors might not have might not like it though.
I think that you should not hire an advisor until you do some sort of workshop with them on the problem that you're experiencing.
See them in action.
See what kind of information they can provide to you.
Because any advisor that is cagey about the
What they know is not the type of advisor that you're gonna want to have on your team.
Uh you want to have somebody that has lived through it, that can talk to you, to your face about it, that is able to have hard conversations, that is able to provide you in necessary examples, that is able to give you and connect thoughts for you for necessary patterns.
So
Instead of just saying, Oh, this person looks good, let me hire them as an advisor, say, Hey
Let's have a workshop first.
I have this problem.
I think that you can help me fix it.
Pay them for it, whatever their rate is for that workshop for sure.
See how they actually interact with your team and then hire them on an ongoing retainer basis.
