I insist; NEVER TRUST GOOD ADVICE!

In September 2018 I was in Hudsonville, Michigan for my TEDx session at TEDx HarveyStreet.

TEDx Harvey Street – Ergin Özdemir – Never Trust Good Advice

It’s been already 5 years and when I look back I am more convinced than ever before. NEVER TRUST GOOD ADVICE.

Many times I have made decisions in winding roads of my life which meant big changes, moving to other places, other cities and/or other countries.

So when you also, sometime in the future, will have to make a decision, maybe a small decision or a big one or even a life changing decision, think twice.

As I had done, you maybe are going to ask for guidance of people whom you trust, you family, your friends, maybe world known experts. They will of course do their best to give you best possible advice for the best possible outcome. Take into consideration that when those people share their point of view and advice, their perspectives and experiences play into their reasoning which is for sure a lot different than yours. So what do you do? NEVER TRUST GOOD ADVICE.

The fact remains, at the end of the day, you are the who is going to face the consequences of your decisions, however small or big it may be. I believe you have all the wisdom needed to make your own decisions. Your senses will guide you right.

So when it’s time to take the next decision, I think you should always as for guidance of those whom opinions and perspective you value and trust. That’s what I also did. At the end, you own your decisions with all it’s consequences, so trust you own gut feeling. Trust yourself and NEVER TRUST GOOD ADVICE!

Thank you Erik Mattsson and Andreas Olsson for your time, coaching and support.
