Who are you taking advice from?

“Where’d you hear that?” 

That is a common question I ask at the dinner table when my teenage son says something that doesn’t quite pass the sniff test. 

More times than not, it’s “I saw it on Tik Tok.” 

For example, “Did you know it’s supposed to snow a foot this weekend?” 

Okay, that one may actually be true. 

But the outlandish things he’s said to me has happened enough times that I keep scratching my head wondering if he’s ever going to get it. 

Then, I take a step back and remember he’s just a teenage boy with a frontal lobe that has still needs some development. 

But, for the “adults” in the world, here is my fitness advice when you find yourself killing time online…. 

Before taking advice from someone – make sure they already have what you want.

This sounds simple enough – but most people ignore this principle. 

…Which means they’re acting on low-quality information. 

Examples: 

Want to get fit? Make sure the person has the body you want. 

Want to play better golf? Make sure the person knows how to play the game. 

Looking for relationship advice? Make sure the person already has the type of relationship you want. 

Looking for specific business advice? Make sure the person has accomplished what they claim – in that specific area. 

STAY STRONG, 

Jeff
