Ever notice how advice is tossed around like confetti? Everyone seems to have an opinion on what you should do. But here’s the hard truth—advice without understanding the goal is like trying to hit a bullseye blindfolded. It’s not just useless; it can ripple through and derail decisions in ways we don’t even realize.
In this episode, we’re breaking down why advice without context falls flat—and how to make sure your advice (and the advice you take) actually matters:
1️⃣ Understand the Goal First: Every piece of good advice starts with clarity. If you don’t know the target, even the best advice will miss. Goals provide the direction.
2️⃣ Ask, Don’t Assume: Take a breath and ask questions. What’s the real objective? What does success look like for them? The best advice begins with understanding, not assumptions.
3️⃣ Tailor the Advice: Once the goal is crystal clear, make sure your advice fits the specific context. Blanket solutions don’t work. Advice needs to be as unique as the situation it’s meant for.
Three Questions to Help Understand the Goal:
- When did you decide something needed to change?
- What purpose would this decision serve?
- If you made a decision right now, what would need to be true in six months to make it the right one?
Here’s the big takeaway: It’s not about finding the “perfect” answer; it’s about building a process to adapt, learn, and grow as things change. Assess, decide, reassess because the real power isn’t in the answer; it’s in the thinking process.
