Who Do You Accept Advice From?

I've become much more choosy in who I accept advice from.

Today, it's:

1. 1. My wife.

2. 2. People who have already created the outcomes I am looking to create.

3. 3. The voice.

4. That's about it.

5. Who do you accept advice from?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why has advice-taking narrowed down to just three sources here?

Because being more selective ensures the voices being listened to actually have credibility or genuine investment in the outcome, rather than accepting input from anyone regardless of relevance or proven experience.

Why does advice from a spouse hold a special place on this short list?

Because a spouse's perspective typically comes from deep, personal investment in the outcome, offering a kind of honest, caring input that's hard to replicate from more distant or transactional relationships.

Why prioritize advice specifically from people who've already created the desired outcome?

Because their advice is grounded in real, proven experience rather than theory or speculation. They've actually navigated the path being pursued, making their input more directly applicable than advice from someone without that firsthand result.

What does "the voice" refer to as a source of advice?

An internal source, personal intuition or judgment, treated as legitimate input alongside external advisors rather than dismissed in favor of only listening to outside opinions.

Why is narrowing advice sources this tightly actually a useful discipline?

Because it filters out noise, opinions from people without relevant experience or genuine investment can distract from decisions rather than improve them. A short, trusted list protects against being pulled in too many directions.
