Be careful of the business startup advice you receive. Not everyone has started their own business [Video]

Starting a new business can be a terrifying experience. If you’ve never run a business—or even your own business—you may find yourself seeking advice and feedback from others. While many people mean well, it’s crucial to limit advice-seeking to those who have actually run a business themselves.

Although subject-matter experts in areas like marketing, human resources, and taxes can offer valuable guidance, running a business is a unique experience that not everyone fully understands. Their insight may not always translate to the realities of entrepreneurship.

If you’re starting your own business, congratulations! Just be mindful of who you turn to for advice.
