Weighing the Advice
6:4:30 2024-01-02 1741

1- Listen to yourself first. Since your intuition can sometimes lead you wrong, how you feel about the advice shouldn't necessarily be your only deciding factor. However, in the end, you're the one who has to live with the choices you make, so really take the time to make sure that whatever you're doing feels true to you.

  • For instance, if someone gives you advice that goes against one of your core values, like honesty or integrity, you should listen to the inner voice that tells you it's wrong.

 


2- Let your defenses down and listen with humility. Sometimes when people approach you with advice, you'll notice that you immediately start to bristle. Sometimes, people who offer unsolicited advice are really overstepping their boundaries. However, this isn't always the case—if someone approaches you in a thoughtful way to offer some advice, it might be worth dropping your guard and giving them a little of your time.

  • Even if you don't necessarily agree with the advice, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?" and "Is there any way this can help me grow?"

 


3- Choose your advisers wisely. Be very discerning when you're choosing who to take advice from. The best advice comes from people who've been in your shoes before, who really care about you, or who are experts on the subject in question. However, just because someone is successful in their field doesn't necessarily mean they'll give you good advice. Don't let someone's status cloud your judgment.

  • If you provide a service, customer feedback can also be a valuable source of advice. 
  • Don't take advice from someone who isn't where you'd want to be. For instance, you might not take financial advice from someone who doesn't manage money well.
  • Also, avoid only asking for advice from people who always agree with you. That won't really be valuable in the long run.

 


4- Ask for clarification if you need it. When someone is giving you advice, they might speak in generalizations, give you too many ideas, or use jargon that you don't understand. If you're left feeling confused, don't be afraid to speak up!

  • If the person gives you a list of things you could do, for instance, but they don't really give you an idea of where to start, you might ask, "What do you think I should focus on first?"


5- Seek several different opinions. Don't feel like you only have to get advice from one person. Instead, reach out to several people whose judgment and experience you really trust. That way, you can be sure you're getting a broad enough perspective on the issue.

  • Also, don't just rely on people who think similarly to the way you do—try to find people with diverse points of view.


6- Give yourself time to think about the advice. Even if you have to make a quick decision, take a little bit of time to mull over any advice someone offers. Carefully consider your options so you can make a thoughtful decision based on your goals and what's important to you.

  • However, do give yourself a deadline so you don't end up procrastinating for too long.

 

7- Trust yourself to make the right decision. At the end of the day, you're the only person who's responsible for your decisions. Weigh all of the advice you've been given, then decide what you're going to do and move forward.

  • Be prepared to take responsibility for your decision, no matter what the outcome might be.


8- Show gratitude for any advice you take. It's important to let people know that you appreciate their advice, as well as how it made a difference to you. Not only is this polite, but it also lets the person know that you valued their opinion and that it was helpful.

  • It also builds your network and allows you to ask for advice from that person in the future.
