I don’t know about you, but my Facebook feed lately has had a ton of mentions of Gary V, Tim Ferris, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. All of these guys are at the top of their respective fields. Each of them has a way they got to where they are. But what they say and do isn’t what will work for you. When they say stuff, they’re speaking from past experiences, not in the moment.
The people who can give you the best advice are the people going through the struggle. The ones who haven’t arose from the ashes. The people who are fighting for their livelihood. Last time I checked, none of those guys were.
The best person in the world to give you advice is yourself. Throw out motivational quotes. Stop thinking about other people’s success stories. Instead, focus on what makes you come alive. Find the stuff you hate doing and eliminate it from your life. Listening to somebody talk on YouTube may create good tidbits of information but that won’t create the life you want to live.
Focusing on yourself, and what your mind is telling you, is what will work for you. Take advice from others with massive grain of salt.
