What is the most costly advice in the world? What's the most expensive advice? Bad advice. It's your broke friend telling you how to get rich. It's your single friend telling you end your relationship. That is the worst advice in the history of the world. It's your mom telling you what you should be doing, even though you could love her to death. If she hasn't run a business, been in the knowledge industry, done what you want to do, how can she give you advice? This is the part you don't see coming. These outside influences are cumulative because you let all this stuff stack up. It slowly chipped away your confidence. And then one little thing makes you think you can't do it. You go back to the start, you quit, and in a year from now you're searching again. Stop taking advice from people that don't aren't living the life that you want.
