How I\u2019ve completely ignored these 4 pieces of popular business advice and still found success\nHave you ever been given a piece of business advice that makes you roll your eyes?\xa0\nI know I have. In fact, there are four pieces of advice that I\u2019ve heard on repeat over the years that I believe can be more detrimental than helpful -- especially if you\u2019re first getting started in business.\xa0\nThe thing is, this is really popular business advice. You see it all over Facebook and Instagram, it\u2019s published in business media outlets, and I can\u2019t even tell you how many times I\u2019ve heard a successful entrepreneur say it Live from stage, or while presenting a webinar.\xa0\nSure, I\u2019ll bet it\u2019s been helpful for some people. But for me, it\u2019s been more discouraging than motivating.\xa0\nAnd because this advice is so mainstream (cough cough, played out), it\u2019s made me feel like following it is the\xa0only way to be successful in business \u2013 and I\u2019m here to tell you that it\u2019s not.\nSo, sweet friend, in this episode, I\u2019m flipping the script -- and it\u2019s my hope that if this advice has left a salty taste in your mouth, like it has mine, you might be able to gain a new perspective.\xa0\nHere\u2019s a glance at this episode...\n\n[05:18] As entrepreneurs, we receive a lot of advice. I'm going to talk about advice that I'm sick and tired of hearing.\xa0\n\n[06:45] #1: Follow your passion. This does more harm than good. For most of us, following your passion isn't reality.\xa0\n\n[09:10] #2: If you want to be successful, you have to constantly be learning. Consuming a ton of content without taking dedicated action isn't going to get you anywhere.\xa0\n\n[10:40] #3: In order to succeed you have to hustle. Sacrificing everything that\u2019s important to you is a recipe for burnout.\xa0\n\n[14:02] #4: You've got to be fearless. We should listen to rational fears that are wired into our brains to protect us.\n\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
