How to get the Right Advice

Who Do You Ask When You Need Advice?

Challenges invariably arise and the first thing we generally do, is reach for the phone. In extreme cases, we can find ourselves on the phone continually asking for advice. When it comes to practical, simple things, like appliances breaking down, we may ask for recommendations. Then we face issues with intimate partners, seek dating advice, advice on workplace relationships and dynamics, and the list goes on. When it comes to important life decisions, like career choices, starting a business, investments and so on, advice becomes even more crucial.

Of course the first people we ask for advice are usually family and friends. When a family member or friend has faced the same situation you are in and achieved admirable outcomes, they can offer helpful, constructive advice. You know, that they have overcome the challenges you face and are able to share the steps they took to achieve a favourable outcome. Because they have succeeded, you can trust their advice.

If that is not the case however, being discerning about the person you seek advice from, is something I recommend highly.
