Be careful who you take advice from.
Before I started Aspire, a very successful entrepreneur (net worth of ~$35M) told me not to do it.
He said I wouldn't be able to succeed and told me to either come work for him or keep working for someone else.
Listening to this advice would've been the most expensive mistake of my life by far – both financially and personally.
On paper, he was exactly who I should take advice from – a highly successful founder and entrepreneur.
But my gut told me to move forward with Aspire.
I trusted myself and went with my gut, and couldn't be more thankful I did.
The bottom line:
Only YOU can decide what is best for you.
No matter how successful someone is, they don't know what's best for you. They only know what's worked for them.
Trust yourself.
Seek wise counsel, but make your own decisions.
If your gut tells you to go for it – go for it.
