My Grandfather’s Tip
So, when you’re getting advice from people, whether it’s a book, a video or an audio, just do what my grandfather told me and question the person giving you the advice. Are they qualified to actually teach you?

Taking Advice from an Unqualified Expert?
I just watched a video from a guy who’s pretty much a washed-out business guy. He’s done it all, he’s failed many times and he started a new video and people are now watching it. And God help them, probably some of them are taking his advice. Well guess what? He’s not qualified.

Is He A Qualified Expert?

Protect What Goes Into Your Mind
So, make sure you do a bit of background checks. Make sure that you remember that when people are telling you stuff – even what I’m saying now – it’s just an opinion and you have to make up your own mind. So, protect what goes into your mind and qualify experts.

I hope this tip is helpful. I love your comments. I’m James Schramko.
