Unsolicited advice to others is a waste of resources, which irritates those who didn’t ask for it. But when people ask for your advice, be charitable.
By Dan J. Harkey
Summary
The habit of giving unsolicited advice is tough to break, and generally, those who spew out advice constantly are the ones “voted least likely to succeed in high school.”

The world around us: successful tactics
We must cultivate three key traits within ourselves: optimism, positive attitudes, and skepticism. These traits will guide our decision-making and help us navigate the complexities of our professional and personal lives.
Question each circumstance with a skeptical eye.
Truths, taking control, optimism, positive attitudes, skepticism, and personal empowerment go hand in hand.
Reserve opinions or explanations and isolate the discussions until the likelihood of truth or falsity becomes apparent.
Your real-life experience becomes paramount, good and bad.
Trust your instincts.
Trust nothing from mainstream media, news, or social media without independent verification. Stay informed and vigilant, as this is the key to navigating the complex web of information that surrounds us.
Reject propaganda and spin in mainstream media and social media.
Those 10,000 likes, impressions, and online friends are not friends, but just noise and an illusion of success.
When you read the news or watch television, they trap you into an addiction to watching them; their objectives are profits through advertising. 90% + of the content is noise, and 10% is, or maybe more, substantial. Substantial means of importance to ourselves, our economic system, and our societal system.
Their objectives are not about representing your best interests. It is about profits, maintaining power and authority over others, and the status quo.
Mainstream propaganda and spin are crumbling as people recognize the deceptions and subliminal suggestions.
Read and subscribe to alt-media sources for truths.
Question the validity and purpose of every action taken by Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Agriculture, Big Banks, Wall Street, Big Media, the military-industrial complex, and the various Big Government Monopolies.
Trust nothing from government-manufactured statistics, biased polling data, ideologically polarized scholars, and spin-doctor research intentionally keep the public ill-informed about actual conditions.
The spin doctors work 24/7 to keep the public isolated from truth and reality.
The us: our internal selves.
We must possess five traits: Positive attitude, dreaming and practicing success traits, listing action items completed by action habits, tenacity, and skepticism.
Be willing to take calculated risks repeatedly.
Be willing to move outside your comfort zone repeatedly.
Be willing to reinvent yourself repeatedly, each time at a higher level. Embrace change and take calculated risks, as they are the stepping stones to your personal and professional growth.
Be willing to adopt new strategies, action items, and action habits and discard old ones that no longer work.
Be willing to become your best critic and listen to the market to tell you if your strategies are working.
If you are not making money, or enough money, then your strategies need retooling.
Become and remain more productive and work harder than those around you.
Have the attitude of being ever-present and the last man (person) standing if necessary.
Those with tenacity will be successful.
Technology will drive much future success, wealth accumulation, and innovation.
By adapting and getting on board, you position yourself to be at the forefront of these changes, rather than being left behind.
Do everything bigger, better, and faster, and face the headwinds head-on.
Become a Self-Starter and reject mediocracy and dependency.
Self-starters are people who have a positive attitude, a plan with action items, execution of the plan, a series of tasks, accomplishments, and many interruptions.
It’s about self-motivation to learn competencies and skill sets and achieve small successes over time, not inherited or innate abilities.
The process involves developing an attitude, motivation, enthusiasm, self-confidence, talent, tenacity, and flexibility through repeated experiences and, in many cases, redundant actions to accomplish your goals.
Listening rather than talking is a tremendously powerful concept that should be recognized for its importance. People like to talk about themselves; let them. As they are talking, you show compassion, receive valuable information, and remain in control of the conversation.
Focus on yourself, your family, and your career. The remainder of the world will take care of itself.
Be charitable, willingly share your knowledge with others, when possible, but not foolishly.
Keep your close relationships near and dear to your heart.
All sustainable relationships are based on mutual and reciprocal benefits. When one party is the continuous giver and the other party is the continuous taker, something is wrong. Exploitation comes to mind.
Eliminate false relationships in your life that bring nothing to the table, of give and take.
False relationships serve to clutter our lives, drag us down to their level, and act as a counter force to personal success.
Isolate negativity and negative people around you.
Keep positive people in your life and eliminate those who do not subscribe to your attitude and enthusiasm.
Regardless of the news about strife, antagonism, and insanity surrounding us, we all should rise in the morning to be productive.
Think carefully about your family’s inalienable rights, personal sovereignty, and your position in the economic system called the U. S. A.

Stand tall in your thoughts, intuition, and integrity.
Remain confident and, above all, remain a non-conformist.
Reject ‘groupthink,’ which is the practice of making decisions as a group in a way that discourages creativity or individual responsibility. Instead, foster an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and independent thinking is encouraged.
Remain active, accept responsibility, lead with courage, and be patient.
Operate with expectations from others. This isn’t easy.
Do not expect immediate gratification. The more successful you become, expect jealousy from those who refuse to pay the price.
Accumulating experiences and successes sets you apart, earning distinction in the top 10% of your field.
Relying on your intuition and the 80/20 rule. You earn 80% of your income from the most productive 20% of your activities.
Attempt to eliminate clutter and noise in 80% of activities, which will get 20% of the results.
Dramatically expand your marketing outreach program. This seems to be a dominant flaw in most businesspeople who have been successful despite themselves.
Modify your marketing plans to adapt to current conditions, which are technology-based.
Eliminate operational redundancies, such as duplicative tasks or inefficient processes, and ineffective marketing strategies. This will streamline your operations and free up resources for more productive activities.
Dramatically expand your network of possibilities.
We cannot afford to stagnate by doing nothing or hanging out with others who do nothing.
Accelerate outbound communications through text, email, and podcasts.
Reach out to the public and be positive and a role model.
Never advise others unless they ask, or there are economic benefits for you.
The remainder of societal problems will take care of themselves.
Advance your personal knowledge base and careers, protect our families, show dignity and respect to others, and essentially wear blinders as we fight through the forest full of deception.
We must continue our personal growth, intellectual development, keenness of memory, and awareness of societal obstacles.
By refusing to give up or allowing others to infringe on our person, we invest in ourselves and reap the many rewards of personal growth and resilience.
Staying physically active is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance in life. Equally important is spending well-earned time in your “mental hobby shop”. This is essential for escaping the pressure and recharging your focus.
Spending well-earned time in your mental hobby shop is essential. It will help you escape the pressure and recharge your focus.
Learning to live in uncertainty without becoming a victim of anxiety and fear is a crucial skill. Fear and anxiety are wasted emotions. They do not produce any actions, solutions, or results.
Fear and anxiety are wasted emotions. They produce any actions, solutions, or results.
Eliminate consumer debt. Business-related debt designed to leverage your enterprise to achieve higher profits is still acceptable.
Hard cash is king. Keep some handy.
America cannot compete with cheap labor; robotics and technological advances will sharpen our competitiveness.
Discuss possible offensive and defensive measures with friends, business associates, and neighbors, and ask them to do the same.
We must work to change our leadership so that they represent the people rather than themselves. That is a tall order.
Thank you for your valuable time. Please share with others.
