The Success Syndicate

What’s the best advice you ignored that turned out to be spot on?

We’ve all been there—someone gives you advice, you think, ‘Yeah, whatever man, that won’t happen to me!” only to later realize they were right. Maybe it’s about your career, family, or something else else entirely, but we’ve all done it. 

I’ve done it a lot, but the one that stings is the most is ignoring the advice not to take loved ones for granted. Losing my brother Andrew this year, I was reminded of all the plans we made ‘for later’ that we would now never get to do. If I could go back, I would say “Yes” to all those times he asked to hang out or shoot the shit, no matter how tired or busy I was. 

What’s some advice that you’ve gotten in the past and ignored only to realize later you should have listened sooner?

Sorry about the loss of your brother man. I’m sure the reason he wanted to hang was because of how much he looked up to you. Loved ones see how much we struggle, overcome & come out on top! Advice I received but never acted on - my dad said certain friends can take you away from your end goal! Don’t stop building!

I’m on a similar train with my family. I work a ton of hours (two full time jobs) and get soo fatigued towards the end. I do my best to hang with my wife and daughter but sometimes I fail to have the energy to do so. Time is not our friend homie!

Yeah, we were best friends but we were both always so busy that we missed a lot of time together. I regret it more than anything else in life.
