Worst Advice You've Ever Received

[Tenacity]

Guys also understand that there are two reasons that most people give out BAD/Mediocre advice.

- Either they are a part of the sheep category that honestly doesn't know how shyt works. So they just repeat some "good statements" that they've heard along the way to try to have some sort of "advice".

- Or, they are a part of the people who actually understands how things work and don't want to create any more competition, thus, they deliberately give out bad advice.

MOST parents are a part of the sheep category, especially if they are Baby Boomers.

MOST successful people are a part of the second category because any USEFUL advice they give you, they feel as though they are giving away their "secret sauce" in some ways. They feel as though that nobody gave them shyt, they had to fight/hustle for everything (including knowledge), so they assume you are a lazy fvck who doesn't want to put the time/work in like they did, thus, that's why you are asking them these questions.

@Tenacity I believe that 98% of people who dole out advice, from the alcoholic, to the blue pill CHUMP, to the female friend or relative telling you to "bring roses on the first date", to a red pill BAD APPLE like Matt Forney. - all legitimately think they're helping you, but most of them are so misguided it's fvcking scary. Well intended or not, these people should all be avoided like the plague.

- Or, they are a part of the people who actually understands how things work and don't want to create any more competition, thus, they deliberately give out bad advice.

The other 2%? This is the self-help/"life coach" industry in a nutshell. I wouldn't say "bad advice" because very few people will DELIBERATELY jeopardize your health, wealth, or livelihood. But they are mostly con artists who charge large sums of money to regurgitate common sense and feel-good cliches. And people fall for it. Some of these guys actually became millionaires this way.

Tai Lopez - "Here in my garage, just bought thus new uh, Lamborghini here! But I'm not materialistic, I care more about KNAWLEDGE! Check out my website for my 67 step program, available for only $67 a month!"

Tony Robbins - "Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible."

Corey Wayne (OH YEAH, I JUST WENT THERE PEOPLE) - "Hang out, have fun, hookup."

Really? Knowledge, set goals, have fun? This isn't bad advice per se, but if you're paying a day's salary for it you've just been DUPED. And that's why these guys are more dangerous than the non-existent person who would actually give you "bad" advice and tell you to go jump off a cliff.

I agree as well. This is that first category I talked about. They want to help, so they just say whatever somebody else might have told them, even though they technically don't really know the answer.

Correct, you have these guys out there as well as those guys who don't want to share information for fear of creating competition. I will say this though to give you and everybody else something to think about. So I talked about individual income earners in the US on here before. And based on national measurements, remember the following Top 5%:

- You're in the Higher Class if you make $100,000 - $220,000 a year, this is the top 2% - 4% of income earners

- You're in the Rich Class if you make over $250,000 per year, this is the top 1%

Now, to get into the top 5% (which I was in for 2016 BTW) you have to DO something or have something that 95% of other people are NOT doing or DON'T have. What this usually translates into is:

#1.) You having a strategic network of people that 95% don't have

#2.) You having a high demand marketplace skill that most people don't have

#3.) You selling a product in high demand that's exclusive to you

#4.) You having access to certain capital to invest that most people don't have

#5.) You having a certain type of "knowledge" that's in demand that most people don't have

#6.) You having access to a particular exclusive type of position, title, or legacy that most people dont have

What am I saying in a nutshell? 95% of people will tell you that to become successful you WORK HARD and go to SCHOOL. And that's why 95% of people are NOT in the Top 5%.

If you asked the Top 5% what it takes to be successful and they were HONEST, they would give you a list of 6 things like I just gave you, which now allows you to strategically POSITION yourself in the right areas in order to get into (and stay into) the Top 5%.

And understand, even I didn't tell you EVERYTHING lol. What I just gave you guys is a generic overview, you still have to do the work to bring the plan into full circle......

17. "You should commute to college."

Mixed feelings on this one.

Pros:

Quiet study area at home (debatable depending on your parents/siblings)
Less student loan debt
Access to better food than school cafeteria
Have a car.


Cons:

Never get to date or hookup or be invited to a party or even make real friends. Will graduate with a minor in Virginity Studies lol. After four or five years, you will only know three people at your graduation.

Traffic and parking issues.

Have to make a special trips to campus for group project work, visiting professors during office hours, etc.

That's the some solid advice right there. You don't score any points for doing repairs or hanging stuff on walls for women. There are 6 other dudes in her contact list that are ready and willing to come over and help her. Let them do it and get nothing from it. Nice guys finish last here! If it doesn't make the vagina tingle, don't waste your time.

So true.

I was banging this girl a while back. She lived alone and told me a couch was being delivered that day but the company would only drop it off and not move the couch up her stairs where she wanted it. So I told her when I got there that I'd help her move it. When I got there that night, it already been moved (up two flights of stairs). Me: "What the hell? How'd you do that?" Her: "i called my friend (orbiter) and he brought his friend(nice guy), they moved it for me. Want a drink?"

Women.

The unanimous winner for bad advice is mother's, with a large sample of father's as the runner up.

Did anyone have a red pill mother who called relationships like they are and didn't apologize for being feminine?

I've found that sisters and aunties give the best advice within family. Well mine anyway....'hey sis, she's ignoring me'. 'Fvck her bro, stupid cow, forget about her'.
