Stop Taking Crappy Advice: How to Filter Specialist Noise & Find Real Solutions

“If the only solution you're hearing is more marketing, more ads, or more funnels, you’re talking to a one-trick pony.”

Today’s episode is a reality check on why taking advice from specialists who don’t see the big picture can derail your business.

👉 Ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels-following every expert’s advice but still not getting the results you want? You’re not alone. So many women I work with have been drowning in advice from niche specialists, only to realize they’ve been solving the wrong problem.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script and talking about:

✅ Why specialists only fix ONE part of your business-and how that messes with the whole system.
✅ The dangers of over-niching when it comes to taking business advice.
✅ How to create an overarching strategy that filters advice and protects your business.
✅ Why understanding the real problem is key to unlocking growth (Hint: It’s rarely just “more leads”).
✅ The importance of small tests before big commitments-because 2025 is the year for testing, not guessing.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re patching holes without fixing the leaky pipe, this episode is a MUST. We’re diving deep into why business owners need to play the role of “generalist” before trusting specialists-and how to make decisions that align with YOUR goals, not someone else’s strategy.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

1. You Need a Framework to Filter Advice:
   Taking advice without understanding how it fits into your bigger strategy is a fast track to overwhelm and wasted time. You need a clear strategic plan to filter advice through.
   
   
2. Specialists Don’t See Your Life Context:
   Most advisors don’t ask about your life beyond business-like juggling three kids, a partner, and a sick family member. They push solutions that don’t fit your reality. Context matters, always.
   
   
3. Test Before You Invest:
   Don’t go all-in with specialists before running small experiments. Test their knowledge, see if they consider the whole business, and make sure they align with your goals. Small investments save you from costly mistakes.
   
   
4. Know the REAL Problem Before You Fix It:
   More leads aren’t always the answer. Often, it’s a symptom of a deeper issue. Look at the bigger picture before throwing time and money at a “solution.”
   
   
5. Generalists Save You Time & Money:
   You don’t need a specialist to fix every part of your business. Sometimes, a solid generalist who understands the bigger picture will save you from fixing the wrong problem.
   
   

💡 Quote Bombs You Can’t Miss:

• “Stop solving for the wrong problem. If the solution is always ‘more leads,’ you’re missing the real issue.”
  
  
• “If you’re only listening to niche experts, you’re getting tunnel vision in a 360-degree world.”
  
  
• “Test before you invest. Small steps save big regrets.”
