They say there's no shortcut to success, but maybe there is.

If you can find someone who's already achieved what you aspire to achieve,

learning from them can really fast track your journey.

I'm living proof of this.

I wasn't always a believer in coaching or mentorship.

I didn't understand the value.

When I was struggling to get to the next level with my software company Webinar Ninja, I sought out help.

And that's when I met today's guest, Dan Martel.

Welcome back to The $100 MBA show.

I'm your host, Omar Zin Home, where I deliver practical business lessons three times a week,

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to help you start, grow, and scale your business.

Dan was my coach for several years as I was growing my company Webinar Ninja. I'm proof that having a

great coach actually helps. The business grew up over 30,000 users, we made millions of dollars,

and the company was so valuable, it got acquired by ProProfts. So in my book, this concept of coaching

actually works, and that's what we talk about in today's episode with Dan Martel. Why you should

get a coach, why he gets coaches, How do you find a mentor? How do you

learn from somebody so that you can grow faster? Dan shares some incredible value in today's

episode, including his story. And it's nothing short of incredible. At 17, he found himself

in a prison cell. On the wrong path mixed up in drugs, that moment became a catalyst for change. He learned to program.

He learned to start building businesses and building software. And he went to launch and sell

three successful companies. Today he runs SaaS Academy, the largest coaching program for SaaS founders

in the world. If he stopped there, he would be a legend.
