While most entrepreneurship advice is well-meaning, that doesn\u2019t mean it is good for business. We asked 15 entrepreneurs to share the worst advice they\u2019ve received along with tips on what to do instead. Here\u2019s a revealing look at what they had to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. That\u2019s just standard contract language<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe worst business advice I ever received was, \u2018Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s just standard language in the contract.\u2019 Be sure to read everything and ask questions. Make sure you know exactly what you\u2019re agreeing to when signing a contract.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>David Delinko,&nbsp;Franchisee of&nbsp;The Salad House of Somerville<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Stick to the plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe worst business advice I was ever told was, \u2018Stick to the plan.\u2019 In fact, most of my success in running a business has come from being quick to change a plan when necessary. Plans are necessary, but no matter how strong your plans are, there are variables that can quickly derail a rigid plan.&nbsp;When you develop plans for your business, consider the alternative\u2013think about what can go wrong and how you will respond if the plan doesn\u2019t lead to the expected result. Keep your plans agile and flexible and pay attention to the metrics. Use your plans as a general guide, but let the data decide whether you should stick to the plan or pivot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Michael Sims,&nbsp;Founder &amp; CEO of&nbsp;ThinkLions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Get started on your business idea right now<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust because you have a great idea, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s necessarily going to bring in revenue. Even the most passionate and industrious entrepreneur can lose a lot of time and money if they don\u2019t put in the proper due diligence. The better course of action is to validate your idea first. In the cheapest way possible, you need to make sure your product or service is going to sell before you dump money into building an expensive website, buying inventory, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Jonathan Prichard,&nbsp;Founder &amp; CEO of&nbsp;<\/em><em>MattressInsider.com<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. You need a lot of capital to make your startup successful<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe worst business advice I have ever received was from another successful business owner who said it would be impossible to compete and get a startup to do well against big brands; and told us to seek investment for 2 million. We wasted a lot of time and didn\u2019t like any of the term sheets we received. We chose to grow slower and bootstrap the venture ourselves.&nbsp;His advice just felt wrong and I decided to follow my gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs long as you are passionate and willing to work hard, it is possible to make anything happen with time and perseverance. There is no such thing as an overnight success story. Behind each success story there is usually 5-10 years of hard work which no ones ever talks about. We launched our brand, debt free from the start built to service over 100k customers and now we have launched in a second country\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sam Malik,&nbsp;Managing Director at&nbsp;Medzino<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Never hire a friend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you rigidly follow this advice, you end up hiring people you only know by their&nbsp;<em>interview face<\/em>, which is never who they really are. The risk is wasting time and energy on someone who simply doesn\u2019t fit on your team. And, all the while, your team is looking at you and saying, \u2018Why in the world did they hire this goofball?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI only hire people I know or that have been referred by someone I trust. This way, I know exactly who I am hiring and I can set the tone and culture of the company. Hiring unknowns can lead you to a lack of team harmony and alignment. Currently, my company has about 50 team members and our average tenure is over 15 years. We are all close knit and care about one another and pull together well in times of need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDespite what everyone always warned me about, I have never had a relationship \u2018<em>go south<\/em>\u2018 as the result of hiring a friend to work with me. I have hired relatives, friends of school and college, and friends from church and others I know in my community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Todd Miller, President of&nbsp;Isaiah Industries, Inc., Piqua, Ohio<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Do what you love and the money will follow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe truth is that not all business ideas are going to pan out\u2013not even all of the great ideas. If your passion translates to a mediocre business idea and you believe it will lead to great success simply because&nbsp;<em>you\u2019re passionate about it<\/em>&nbsp;and think others will be too, you\u2019re in for a rude awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou need to have a solid plan and know there is a market need before deciding to start a company based on what you love doing. Your biggest hobbies may not be the best for solving actual problems and generating revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Simon Chatfield, Founder and CEO of&nbsp;<\/em><em>OptimumHQ<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Don&#8217;t befriend industry peers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSadly, I followed this advice for the first few years of my insurance career, before I started my own agency. I feel this advice was&nbsp;<em>horrible<\/em>, as over the years I\u2019ve developed great relationships with my competitors, and we all found ways to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy developing key relationships in my industry, I\u2019ve probably generated nearly $250,000 more in commissions in the last couple of years. Reconsider the viewpoint of your competition as enemies, and think about how you can coexist with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Matt Schmidt,&nbsp;CEO of&nbsp;Burial Insurance Pro<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Build your product and then find a market<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is terrible advice because the best businesses in the world are built around people, not products. And by focusing on the product first, you then have to go out and try to find someone to sell it to. Very rarely does this line up to a perfect market fit; and more often you end up with a product or service that nobody wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe alternative, and much better advice, is to first focus on the group of people you want to serve (i.e. your ideal target market) and&nbsp;<em>then<\/em>&nbsp;try to understand their pains, problems, and frustrations. Create a product or service that solves it for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Adam Erhart, Online Marketer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Lower your prices to get more customers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I hear that I should lower my prices to get more customers, I cringe. Competing on quality, not price, is the factor that has led me&nbsp;to grow Dallas Maids into one of the biggest, and successful, cleaning businesses in Dallas, Texas. Having slightly higher prices than the competition allows you to pay (and keep!) the best people what they are worth. Simply, it allows you to provide a superior service. You can\u2019t do that with economy pricing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Greg Shepard, Founder and President of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasmaids.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dallas Maids<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Don\u2019t focus on short-term revenue, build toward long-term opportunity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMultiple venture investors advised me to not prioritize short-term revenue, and instead build toward the biggest long-term vision and opportunity (particularly in order to maximize our valuation). It sounds really nice in theory, but the reality is successful businesses make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe sooner you can be in-market selling a product, actively developing customer relationships, and reducing your burn rate the stronger, more sustainable, and ultimately investor-appealing (or self-sustaining) company you\u2019ll build. Prioritizing vision and valuation over revenue almost killed us, but luckily we were able to pivot in time and start building a real business, not just an attractive concept.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Chris Bolman,&nbsp;CEO of&nbsp;Brightest<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>11.
