Wrong Expert, Wrong Result!

Imagine you have a bad toothache. Instead of calling a dentist, you walk into a mechanic’s garage and say, “Hey, can you pull this tooth out for me?”

It sounds ridiculous. But people make this kind of mistake all the time when it comes to business. They ask the wrong people for advice and then wonder why nothing improves.

The Source of Advice Matters

A mechanic might be amazing at fixing engines, but they are not trained to handle molars. The same logic applies to business.

Too often, people ask for business advice from their uncle who has never run a business, or from friends who hate their jobs. Sometimes they rely on random opinions from strangers on social media. These sources might mean well, but that does not make them qualified.

If you want serious business advice, ask someone who has experience in the field!

Free Advice Can Be Expensive

There is no shortage of free opinions and free advice. But bad advice can cost you time, money, and momentum. If you are planning to start your own business, talk to a coach, a mentor, or someone who has done the work.

Don’t limit yourself to asking advice from people who have succeeded. Sometimes, the best advice you can get can come from someone who failed. Learning from their mistakes is much easier than hitting the wall yourself!

Ask Better Questions Before You Act

Before you follow someone’s advice, ask yourself this very simple question:

Does this person have real experience in what I am asking about?

Remember that good decisions come from good data and good analysis. If you get advice from unqualified sources, that’s bad data leading to bad analysis, leading to bad decisions.

Ready for Real Guidance?

If you are serious about building a business, stop relying on guesswork and unqualified opinions. Reach out and let’s have a real conversation about your goals and how to reach them.

You do not have to waste time chasing bad advice.
