Are you getting the right advice?

The internet has gotten too big, to the point where everyone can give you advice on anything. Some people genuinely mean it, but many do it for their own gain. How do you differentiate? Which advice do you take? Who do you ask? Ironically, there are now more questions than answers.

I am not one to give advice, but I do like to point at people who have something smart to share, and I think Hiten and Steli nail this one:

• What is the social media Ego Trap?

• How do you get the best advice?

• What makes a book so much better than any advice you get on social media?

If you hear what they've got to say, and they have been around Silicon Valley and the internet for a long time, you will get a quick mental trigger that warns you of bad advice, next time you see it. It's worth it!
