The Right Person to take startup advice | DNK Shorts [Video]

One big mistake first-time founders make while seeking advice is they would reach out to any and everyone.

While everyone can give advice, for it to be effective and of some value, the person giving it should know the context of the person receiving the advice. Further, for startup or business advice to be effective, the person giving it should have empathy and understanding of customers and the market.

Therefore, founders should not rush to take advice from anyone and everyone but seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that” or a subject matter expert.

Remember that even if the advice is free, it’s going to cost you time. And sometimes bad advice can even take you back on your journey. In startup journey, be careful whom you listen to.
