If you’re going to ever give advice or “wisdom” to anyone, you sure as hell better be living it or giving a Herculean effort in living as close to it as possible (because we’re never perfect). But if you’re parroting theory and principles that “sound good” and you’ve never actually applied them yourself, save us all the time and please stop. We need less parrots and more eagles.
It’s why it’s always been hard for me to listen to the doctor or “healthcare professional” who’s fat and out of shape. To the “influencer” giving marriage or relationship advice when they’ve been divorced more than three times. To those teaching how to build a business when they’ve actually never built a successful business…
However, if you’re a doctor working hard to get in shape…
the relationship expert working extremely hard on that third marriage…
or that newer business owner (myself included because I’ve never built an online coaching business before - it’s why I’m so careful to not give advice here on business specifically but only share what I’m currently doing in the beginning stages and pointing everyone to the experts with clout who I follow - I only can share “expertise” in what I’ve done to scale and find purpose in a decade sales career) working extremely hard to get that first business off the ground…
…you’re at least doing SOMETHING to move forward and I commend you for that. Still have wherewithal on the quality of advice you're able to give unless you've accomplished some sort of substantial result that's worth implementing. Because in the back of everyone's head of the advice you give is "why should I listen to you"?
Regardless of the position you're in to give QUALIFIED advice or not (and no, just living life and having "more years" isn't a qualification)...keep improving...
It’s not about the current state, it’s where you’re headed.
OR even moreso…
It’s about where you’ve successfully been and what you’re continuing to improve on.
Don’t be fake. Go be great.
