![🚫What’s the worst business/ career advice you’ve ever received? ❌
.
👉🏽Let’s face it, there’s a ton of bad business advice out there. Some with good intentions and and a lot of it comes unsolicited… from your relatives, your friends, Instagram…
.
On Ep. 64 of the #beyondinfluentialpodcast, I sit down for a candid convo with online launch queen, business mentor, host of the Rulebreaker Dreammaker Podcast, and my bff @danielleprahl. ⭐️
.
Danielle and I talk about our businesses together daily (but meet to mastermind weekly) and we thought it would be fun to talk about the popular entrepreneurship cliches and the worst business advice we’ve received. .
We discuss:
🥂 The good and bad advice that’s out there
🥂Who you should actually be taking advice from and how to vet it
🥂Pricing your services, marketing search & when to work for free
🥂Investing in yourself
🥂Does growth actually need to be uncomfortable?
🥂Is the customer always right?🥂When should make the leap from side hustle to full time and more!
.
[There was so much here, I made it a two parter!]
.
BONUS: you can expect some fun collabs between me and Danielle coming down the pipeline.

![The top personal brands are all unique voices in their space.🗣
.
The content & topics might not be unique, but the VOICE is. You can literally hear that person talking when you read their writing. Their take has something “extra.” It’s like you know them. .
Don’t we all have unique voices?
.
YES, we do (which means there’s tons of opportunity!). BUT, being ourselves and developing our own voice is a muscle most people are not exercising. 💪🏽
.
Most people spend the majority of their time holding back:
👉🏽 not saying what they think
👉🏽 looking at what others are doing
👉🏽worrying about what other people are thinking
👉🏽 saying & doing what they think they need to do...
.
Not only does that sound awful, that sounds exhausting.
.
You don’t say whatever you’re thinking all the time or be controversial - it’s just taking baby steps over time. .
Start by forming YOUR OWN intentional opinions and get practice communicating and articulating them.
.
Example: Read ONE piece of industry news - what are your thoughts? Write it down, make a voice memo, explain to someone inside and someone outside your industry why it’s important. [BONUS: that’s at least 4 pieces of original content right there]
.
If you are consistent about it, people will ASK for your opinions and actually want them.
.
This is practical sh*t - consider it an investment in your professional communication skills [it’s extra that you can use it build your brand too.]](http://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/deacd2e3d1a40b9e743c09b765be60b2/5CED6201/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/51533432_151877345804743_5257998269313908482_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com "The top personal brands are all unique voices in their space.🗣
