When it comes to making a decision, whose opinion do you think is more valuable? The person who has the most practical experience in the field, or the most trusted person that you love more and are closer to, such as a family member, friend, or neighbor– that has no experience with what you're trying to decide?

When it comes to making any decision, the opinion and information of someone who has more practical experience carries more weight than those of your beloved or respected people who may haven't gotten that practical experience.

Even though you might trust and respect them, their opinions should have less value; whereas the opinions of someone with more practical experience should carry more weight.

Ray Dalio sums it up just perfectly:

"Believable people are those who have repeatedly and successfully accomplished the thing in question - who have a strong track record with at least three successes - and have great explanations of their approach when probed"

It is wise to keep that in mind for future decision-makings. Moreover, it is helpful to identify the advice you still believe to this day. Try to go back in time and recall what advice you received from whom. And if you do remember, then the next step is to validate their credibility.

Ask yourself these four questions to determine those past individual's credibility and also those of future individuals that are trying to give you their advice:

1. What kind of credibility does the person have?
2. How much practical experience does s/he already have?
3. How does s/he come to his/her opinion?
4. What is their track record?

Answering these questions will help you to validate the person's advice. Once understanding that a person's advice from the past came from someone who wasn't super knowledgeable in that specific field or, even more, had no practical experience in it whatsoever, then it is wise to drop their advice and discontinue holding that belief.

Because that belief might be your truth till today, which shapes your reality and thus your behavior and results.
