You can shortcut your learning curve and save yourself so much time through coaches and mentors. 3. AirBNB is a place where it's not necessarily a city that you have to be in. It's an experience space platform. A treehouse, or a tent in the middle of the woods, a lakefront home, all of these could kill it in AirBNB.
