860: 5 Pieces of Bad Business Advice I’m Glad I Didn’t Take

Not all business advice is created equal. In fact, some of the most commonly shared tips—the ones that sound super strategic or even “proven”—can actually hold you back!  Over the years, I’ve been given plenty of well-meaning advice that, if I had followed it, would have led me straight to burnout, bad investments, or a business that didn’t feel like me. In this episode, I’m breaking down five pieces of bad business advice I’m so glad I didn’t take. From the pressure to scale at all costs to the myth that you have to be everywhere, all the time, I’ll share why these “rules” didn’t work for me—and what I did instead. If you’ve ever questioned the business playbook that everyone seems to be following, this one’s for you!
