Do you ever need an expert/mentor to ask questions directly?

by
Do you ever need someone to ask questions directly, to advance in your project, career, business, etc? Maybe an expert/mentor ahead of you Or maybe someone with a different skillset from yours, even though you can do everything yourself and just need to ask a quick question to move foreward

Sometimes! That's why we're launching CollabClub a place where makers and indie hackers can exchange time for the help and skillsets they need - https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

@maxwellcdavis what do you mean by "exchange time for the help and skillsets they need"? is it free or not?
@lucagiuglietti We haven't worked out how we'll monetize the platform but the exchange would be free - working on the principle of 1 hour for 1 hour

@maxwellcdavis I tried it and it's great!

I don't because I have a business background and am learning code myself. Now, I just Google everything I need and look at the real-world data to get more insights (public or paid one). Occasional, go to a forum or groups to ask questions.

@jorcus are you satisfied with the answers you get on forums? Or is there anything that bothers you?

Well, I think yes it can be helpful, Even sometimes taking the same thing out loud with someone else clears a lot of things for us, the directions, resolving to overthink etc. Like my current scenario is something that really needs some mentor to help me move forward. I am a tech guy and can build, I want to build SAAS but the problem is I don't have an idea of any specific domain and problems for which I can build, also what should be the go-to market strategy I am not sure, So these kind of things can be helped by a mentor with relevant experiences

@mdshadabalam3 would you also say that having early feedback from potential users, designers, marketers would be helpful? I'm talking accessing people with other skillsets directly through a chat or something... even a 1-to-1 call
