\\u201cBusiness advice can be really dangerous. If people are taking advice as gospel it\\u2019s dangerous because you can receive advice off a mentor that applied to them 20, 30 years ago. There business problems are different to yours and the pressures they were facing can be miles away from the ones you face today. \\nWhat advice is, most of the time, is what\\u2019s worked for someone else. So with advice, take it in but don\\u2019t use it, don\\u2019t look at it as advice. It\\u2019s just knowledge and experience. Make sure you soak up as much experience as you can and apply it to your own problems.\\u201d Jamie commenting on the dangers of taking business advice at face value.
