The second proven step to success is knowing where to seek GOODadvice... Everyone's got an opinion these days, but why should youlisten to their opinion?
Step 2. Seek Proper Advice
Most people feel advice is worth what it costs - nothing. This is probably true in most cases. Do you want to know the ultimate secret about seeking advice?
It is very simple, but often overlooked. Here it is. Ask the right person for the right advice. Don't let the sheer simplicity of this statement trick you. It is very powerful, but also easy to overlook. This technique works in any field - health, spiritual matters, business, finances,relationships, and so on.Let's say you are having some small problem with your spouse. Would it make sense to complain to a divorced friend and then ask for their advice? Or, would it make more sense to seek the advice of acouple who has been happily married for 30 years?
Obviously, if youwant to have a successful marriage, the latter choice makes a lot more sense, yet people tend to be care free in asking for and giving advice. Here is some advice that may actually be worth something. Starting now, try to ask yourself this question before seeking advice."What makes this person qualified to give me advice".To be fair, when someone asks you for advice that you are less than qualified to give, let them know and try to steer them in the rightdirection to someone who is well experienced with the subject.Be warned though! If you are asking someone who has "been there and done that", then you have to be willing to follow their advice.
After all they've already mapped out a route that successfully worked for them. Should you seek a second opinion? Yes! Take advice from the professionals in that field and take advice from many of them. If the response is congruent with the majority of them then you know you've just found some good advice.
It is easier to be carefree in seeking advice, but it is alwaysmore productive when you seek it from experts.
Until tomorrow...Wishing you much success,
