Advice I received. Advice I ignored. What actually happened.

"Start with a free newsletter and monetise later." Ignored it.

Launched paid from month 1. Bestseller in 3 months.

"You need 10,000 subscribers before you can sell anything." Ignored it.

My students sell to audiences of 300-500. They make $5K-$14K launches.

"Price low so more people can afford it." Ignored it.

I charge $97/month. My subscribers stay longer than anyone else's.

"Don't delete subscribers — you'll lose your numbers." Ignored it.

Deleted ghost accounts every month. Revenue went up.

"Wait until the baby is older to grow the business." Ignored it.

Built a $119K/month business with Eva on my chest at 3am.

"You can't teach what you haven't done for 20 years." Ignored it.

I taught what I did in 14 months. My students got results faster than I did.

The best career advice I ever received was the advice I didn't take.

Not because the people giving it were wrong.

Because they were giving advice for THEIR life. Not mine.

Stop crowdsourcing your decisions. The only permission you need is your own.
