Most Advice Would Work When You Act

Hey Reader,

There is a funny observation. Most advice on business and most business models will work.

Yet we often like the idea better than the action. The action is the hard part.

Some will take the advice and start working. Then they get distracted and listen to another shiny opportunity and jump on that train.

With all the back and forth they are not able to commit. Therefore they will never see the compounding of their action.

Most advice would work. Yet most don’t take the action that is required to get it done.

This is what differentiates the few from the many. The top 1% just took action. For years.

While nobody was watching. They didn’t jump ship. They just stuck with it. That’s what makes the difference.

Sure there is advice that’s better and worse. The problem is often the advice that stops you from taking action.

That’s the differentiating factor.

Move fast and get things done. Take advice with a grain of salt.

The more action you take, the more you will know if advice is good or not.

It all comes down to committing to your action.

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…
