Reading Tribe of mentors by Tim Ferris currently. For those that don't know, it's a book where he asks a bunch of people across several industries various questions.
One of the questions he asks (I'm paraphrasing) what advice would you give someone starting out and what advice should they ignore?
I liked the way he asks what advice should be ignored as I think it is equally helpful. What advice do you hear circulating a lot that you believe should be ignored and why?
I'll go first, I think waking up at 5am is BS. I invest in real estate. My whole business is talking to people. No one wants to talk at 5am. There's very little I can do that progresses my business at 5am. If I woke up at 5am, I'd be a zombie during the hours of the day that are good times to talk to people. We all have the same 24 hours. 5am is no different than 5pm. Build your schedule around maximizing productivity in your business.
