Take your advice from people with long histories of maintaining success.
Ignore the quick-fix people on their “third week of meditating” or their three-month weight loss.
Real success is not about results: it is about how long you can maintain results. How long you can stay fit or calm or profitable or happy.
The people who have achieved these things for years in a row are the people who have really figured it out.
And when you do seek advice, don’t accept generalities. Ask for specifics — for verbs and action items and how often and how many times and how much exactly.
Successful people don’t just exist, they do things. Find out what exactly they do.
