In today's solo shorty, I'm dropping the truth bomb that everyone needs to hear. If you decide to start that business or start that podcast, only take advice from people who have done whatever it is that you want to do. Don't ask for opinions or seek out advice from people that have no clue about the journey that you are on. 

And trust me...

You will get LOTS of unsolicited advice. Don't get distracted by the noise and stay focused!
