Have you ever reflected on your life journey and thought about the worst advice was that you have ever been given? Join Rob today as he looks back on some of the advice he has received on his business journey and how it turned out to be completely wrong. Find out today why it is sometimes important to give up on things that aren’t getting you anywhere in life, how good advice can actually become bad advice if given in the wrong context and why it is important to have multiple streams of income rather than focusing solely on one business model.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The advice “Never give up” is not always good advice. Sometimes in life, you have to give up things in order to move on. You need to give up things that aren’t working for you and the things you are holding onto as these are not necessarily things that are good for you. Never give up on your dreams and never give up on yourself but you should give up bad habits, triggers, bad investments and uncontrollable emotions.
- Many people will say ‘ideas are nothing without action’, that is not always true. You will not be successful unless you take action and you should implement what you learn however there is going to be a large amount of unconscious learning. However, if you keep educating yourself, you may feel as though you are not implementing every single action step but unconsciously you will be, and you will also be building up your knowledge bank for when you need it.
- It is really risky just to become completely dependent on one business model, or one business niche because what if that suddenly gets disrupted or you are unable to perform the job due to illness. You need multiple streams of income and you need to be diversified in your investments. Purely focusing on one area of success is extreme advice and extreme advice can become bad advice.
- Many business owners and employers still live by the advice “always hire on attitude over experience” this is not always good advice as you may end up with the wrong person for the role. If the person you are interviewing is perhaps a little bit quirky or are not much of a people person then this is fine so long as this is not a key part of their role. As long as the person is good at their job and their personality does not affect this then it should not really matter.
- Often, when you are not feeling great in yourself you can transmit that into other areas of your life. You need to be able to compartmentalise and not let other things derail you or make you have a lower belief in yourself and stop you from doing what you do, and doing it well. Many entrepreneurs are really impatient and sometimes they become self-destructive because they push too hard for things, short term fears and impatience can really affect you.
BEST MOMENTS
“The funny thing about good advice is that it can be bad advice for the wrong person or in the wrong context. In the same way, bad advice can be good advice if it is put in the right context.”
“Filling your brain with really good ideas and really good information, courses, podcasts and audiobooks, is never wasted. It is always there locked into the back of your brain for when you are ready.”
“You are one good idea, and one inspired idea away from really changing things.”
