Mentor Coffees: Ask for Thirty Minutes, Bring Three Questions

Vague mentorship requests get vague answers.

Field notes on Mentor Coffees — messy, usable, long enough to act on.

Propose a time, list three questions, end on time.

1. Observe once at the hour you'd actually use it.
2. Write the Chinese name the same day.
3. Keep proof for money steps.
4. Build a backup before you need it.
5. Revisit after thirty ordinary days.

Myth worth dropping

"More research always means a better decision." Sometimes it means avoidance. Decide, date it, revise later.

Defaults beat novelty. Near beats famous. Dated notes beat memory.

Work here gets easier when expectations are written down.

Protect your Tuesday-night self — that's who lives with the plan.
