How To Seek Advice... Without Losing Your Mind

Mason Lee Tompkins

Issues and hard times will continue to pop up in our lives, and sometimes we won’t be ready or equipped to handle them as gracefully as we might like. In those times, it is extremely helpful to seek advice.

When seeking advice, it is most best to identify the 1 person you trust, who has expertise in this specific set of circumstances, and cares more for your well being than they care for the ego boost from giving their opinion.

Too often, we seek advice from everyone for everything.

We like our jobs but we want to love it so we look outwardly for how other people love their jobs. Seems noble, but what happens as a consequence? You’ll go from liking your job, to trying to love it but hating it instead.

We‘re confident and excited about the product we’re going to sell, but let’s see what products are selling best for other people first. Now you’re selling something you don’t give a shit about, because someone who did give a shit put in a lot of work and made good money with it.

So start looking inward first, and only look outward when answers don’t rise up from within.

Odds are, you have your answers already. Maybe you’re just afraid of trusting yourself.
