How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing the idea of learning from those who have succeeded before you. Think of it this way: you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Dive into books, articles, or videos about successful leaders like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg. See what decisions they made and why.
A good way of doing this is to develop a habit of daily reading or listening. Set aside just 15-20 minutes every day to absorb information about successful people's decision-making processes. This is low-cost and only takes a bit of your time, but the insights you gain could be invaluable.
Start where others have left off. For example, if you're trying to improve your business, look at what strategies successful companies have used. Try to implement those strategies in your own work. This doesn't mean copying them verbatim, but understanding the principles behind their actions and applying them to your own situations.
Instead of seeking mentors, focus on modeling successful behaviors. Ask yourself how you can change your behavior to align with what you've learned from these successful figures. This could mean adopting new habits, changing how you make decisions, or how you manage your time.
By doing these things, you can increase the likelihood of achieving success faster without spending a lot of money or time. Remember, the key is to keep learning and applying what you learn to your own life.
