-: I think some of the worst advice I've got
probably comes down to people
that don't get what you're doing
and more specifically how you wanna do it
saying, you shouldn't do that.
There was one example where I was making
this big presentation
and it offended this advisor or someone that was involved.
And they said, you can't say that.
And I really felt I needed to say this thing
that he thought was offensive.
And so in my mind it was like,
look, if it offends people then
that's not my target market anyway.
And I don't really care about that so much.
And I went out and did it and it was a huge success.
And it worked really well.
And I just remember applying that to much bigger decisions,
to many other areas where someone that doesn't like
the style of how you do something
or understand the purpose of it,
listening to their opinion, it's just that.
It's an opinion.
And at the end of the day,
only you know what's best for the company you're building
or the project you're working on.
And so if you're an entrepreneur
and you're in that position,
when you do get the final call,
listening to your gut instinct
I think is hard to do but very important.
