A wise man once said "Plans fail for lack of advisors"
It's exactly a year since I discovered and JOINED the SOWPub community.
To celebrate, I'll share a lesson I've learned about why plans fail.
In 2 words: BAD ADVICE.
That's why we need to be careful about who we choose as our advisors.
Sure, family members can mean well, but if they haven't done anything similar to your goals, you'll just overdose on old midwives scary tales.
So choose your advisors carefully.
They must be people who have actually gone ahead on the path where you're heading.
Not smooth-talking "gurus", with shiny suits and fast cars.
Thank you
Here's some advice I came across the other day:
“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are, in fact, allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is one of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.”
I wonder how reputable the advisor is who wrote those words. And, should I follow them? I'd hate to be entangled with wrongdoing people.
Just a thought...
