TIP #28: Look Around

Erma Bombeck has a great line, "Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died." I would add, never take career advice from someone who is not winning at working.

It's like this. I have nothing against financial advisors. But for the most part, if they're not doing well financially themselves, why would I be interested in their recommendation about my money? Or how about parenting suggestions from a childless person? Have a few well behaved children and then I might be interested.

Work is like that, too. Stop listening to people who do not have the right personal experience or a successful track record. Want to be winning at working? Look around and listen carefully to those who are.
