Welcome to Marketing School, the only podcast that provides daily top level marketing tips and strategies from entrepreneurs that practice what they preach and live what they teach. Let's start leveling up your marketing knowledge with your instructors, Neil Patel and Eric Sue. All Right, guys, before we start, we got a special message from our sponsor. If you want to rank higher on Google, you gotta look at your page speed time. The faster website loads, the better off you are with Google's Core Vital update. That makes it super super important to optimize your site for low time. And one easy way to do it is use the host that Eric and I use, dream Hosts, So just go to dream host or google it, find it, check it out, and it's a great way to improve your low time. Today we are going to talk about why well, we're going to debate this so experience sharing versus giving advice. So I'm going to kick it off first to set the stage real quick and context. I actually think there's a time and place for advice as well, but I personally prefer to experience share more than give advice. And I actually learned this from EO and YPO there's this thing called gestalt, right, And the way this works is basically, every month you get with your form right, this is your group of brothers and sisters, and you share kind of the five percent of things you wouldn't share with your spouse or your friends. And oftentimes these are like really heavy issues, right, like hey, like my business is like you know, in trouble whatever. And so instead of like let's say meals and money, why didn't you share that with your spouse? Okay, fine, that's a bad example. So let's say, okay, let's say someone's cheating on the other person, like this has actually happened before, right, why would they share that? At EO? Or why you do you do share? Me? No, it is business, but because you hang out with that group so much, it often becomes very personal. Right. So that is a thing like the relationship stuff, right, And like I've be in these groups and like everyone is like married, right, And so anyway, I'll give you an example. Then you Eric Single. If anyone is single and they want to day, email him at Eric at single grain dot com. Thank you, Neil. So here's the thing, Like the idea here is that if I gave Neil advice, right, I said, hey, you should do this, and he takes my advice and it totally screws him. Right, It's on me, right, let me finish real quick, Neil, before you say something. And then because I know you want to say something. And then but if I give him advice, and like I've taken the time to give an advice, he doesn't take my advice, I'm like, screw you, right. And the one thing about advice is every bit of advice that I'm giving, or any bit of advice that Neils giving, it's all based on our experience and our context, right. And so what happens instead is when you share experiences, it is just your story, right, Like here's what happened in two minutes, and then you just go around the room listening to stories and then you kind of compile your action steps based on all the stories that you heard and all the different perspectives and you go from there. Now, sometimes it is helpful to go directly for advice, but largely I prefer to go for experience more often than advice. So, Neil, what are your thoughts on this? So, typically when it comes to giving advice, like if I know the answer, and I'm one hundred percent share it all work. I'll just give it even if I'm one hundred percent sure. What's a little bit different is I throw out a disclaimer, like, hey, I would do this, but you should talk to a lawyer. You should talk to a few other people did in the last episode. Yeah. That way, you know, they just double check for their own sanity and safety because sometimes people are wrong. And generally though, I still prefer giving not advice, but just talking about past experiences. And here's why. If I give advice, I don't care if people take it or not. That's up to them. And if they take it and they're doing great, great. If they're not, you know, that's up to them as well. Because I give a disclaimer and I tell people, hey, you should check maybe they implement it wrong or did it wrong. What I found is when I give advice and people don't take it and they do their own stuff, they're afraid to either tell me or they feel I'll react negatively or it'll affect our friendship. Not on mind, but on there and they're just like, oh, Neil gives me advice. I just want to do things my way. And I found that a lot of people just like doing things their way, So instead of giving advice, I'll share experiences and let people make their own journey, their own path and figure out what works for them and doesn't work for them. Yep. I think the reason I wanted to do this episode two is just this is like a disclaimer like any other episode you listen to in the future or the past. Who point is this episode saying, hey, like, whatever advice we give, like you know, take it at your own. It is just advice, right. It just keep in mind like we're trying to just be helpful and we're trying to share like what we understand and things change too. Yeah, and when we give market invest like here's what works on YouTube and stuff. When we're recording the episodes, it's based on data and it is what is working. But of course algorithms you change over time. YEP. I would say the quote that always sticks with me is the kind of strong views loosely held, right, So I think it's important to have you know your point of view, but understanding that things often change. And the good thing about Neil and I is we're very open, especially when data is proven, like we'll change our mind on a whim, right, So I think it's just having that flexibility and understanding again, like you know, whatever advice that we're giving is based on our experiences, and you know, when we experience share, we experience share. But we've both been there, done that. So that is it for today and we will catch you. Please don't forget the rate review, subscribe, and see you later.
