How to differentiate good and bad advice
People give me advice all the time.
“You should do this to your site”
“You should blog about this”
Lets face it, people like to give advice for what ever reasons.
But the key in life is differentiating good and bad advice.
1st, the prerequisite is to determine if the person giving me advice has my best intentions.
If they don’t, kick them to the gutter.
I have had past friends give me S@#! advice simply because they are jealous.
These are X friends that did not have the Ball/courage to go after their dreams so they want to hold me back.
I never tell them who they are. I just never associate with them again. No need to waste time on wasted warfare time.
Also, I use common sense.
I assign a “weight” value on each advice.
People that give me advice on how to blog but never blog, these are called IDIOTS.
People tell me how to be an entrepreneur yet they never even sold lemonade from their own lemonade stand.
If you want to be an entrepreneur, my best advice is to get words of wisdom from someone who has succeeded in your industry.
So if you want to be an entrepreneur, a painter, a singer, be prepared to have a mile long list of advice being thrown at you.
Be quick to filter the ones that matter, and spend more time honing in on your craft.
See you at the top.
