The Messy Truth About Business Advice | #195

There is no shortage of business advice.

Scale your business. Build passive income. Automate everything. Charge your worth. 
Invest before you're ready. Post more content. Build a personal brand.

The problem isn't that any of these ideas are automatically wrong, the problem is that they're often presented as universal truths when they're anything but.

In this episode, I explore some of the most common pieces of business advice doing the rounds online and explain why context matters so much more than catchy slogans. Because what works brilliantly for one business owner can be completely wrong for another.

The goal isn't to ignore all advice; it's to get better at deciding which advice is worth listening to and which advice deserves a healthy dose of scepticism.

In this episode:

• Why business advice without context can be surprisingly dangerous
• The reality behind the passive income dream
• Why you probably don't need to be on every social media platform
• The hidden assumptions behind "scale, scale, scale"
• Why automating everything isn't always a good idea
• The role human connection still plays in business
• Whether you really need a complicated marketing funnel
• Why posting more content isn't necessarily the answer
• My thoughts on the phrase "charge your worth"
• The risks of investing before you're ready
• How to make better decisions about outsourcing
• Why done isn't always better than perfect
• What personal branding actually means in practice
