Let's go!!

Yo, what's happening everybody, it's your boy, the veteran CEO of the real ones reserved podcast and Company. Hey, welcome back. Man. I hope y'all enjoyed my last show.
If you haven't listened to it yet, it's a must. You must go back and listen to it. Episode 16, titled, lowering your expectations. It's fire. So let's dive into today's topic. Your opinion matters. I hear somebody asked, hmm, M D? Why does your opinion matter?
To answer you guys question. It's a bit of a loaded question.
And let me explain why it's a bit of a loaded question. To me. Your opinion matters. It matters in instances where people ask for your opinion. If you want to just state your opinion on something, don't be offended when you don't get the response that you were expecting from that person. Like, I'll give you guys
one of my examples. So when I'm in the gym, I'm in my zone. I'm like,
I'm just in my zone. Do not mess with me. You know, I've been working out my whole life. And, you know, at times,
people used to come up to me and stop me in between my sit and want to talk about my form and stuff like that.
Man.
I didn't ask you for your help. I didn't ask for you to come over here and try to sell yourself.
You know, I have a lot of experience. I mean, I'm confident to get the job done in the gym without hurt myself. I've been doing it for long, long time, right?
I cannot stand when folks do that to me. So
don't offer you advice. I didn't ask for it. Because we've all heard that expression. Everyone has an opinion.
So
if someone doesn't accept your opinion, respectfully, you should keep that to yourself.
But I get it. Everyone is so perfect. Everyone is on social media so happy. So they're just ready to vomit their opinion on you. Slike. Dude, I'm good. I don't need your opinion.
Because it's unsolicited advice. If someone doesn't ask for your opinion,
why do you feel it necessary to add your two cents.
But watch this, when someone asks your opinion?
There's a couple of things that's going on in that scenario. First of all, they see you
have great value. They see you. And they know that you're going to give them the best opinion or advice possible. You're not just going to be
you know, saying things without thinking them through.
That's where your opinion matters. When people seek you, when people
dial your number, and ask what your opinion is. That's when your opinion matters. Your opinion matters when someone is in a crisis. And they call you to ask, what would you do in this scenario? Your opinion matters when significant events happen and people seek you. That's when your opinion matters.
Now I'm no expert, but in my opinion, people that don't have the experience, the common sense or the logic
They shouldn't be telling you what they do.
If they never had the experience which you're having, how can they tell you what to do? How can they
properly evaluate what they should be telling you to do?
Like, nowadays, everyone is a expert at everything, right? Everybody's on the internet, given their advice, given their opinion, and they don't even care. I think that, to even give your opinion on something, you have to care, you have to be connected to that situation, somehow, you need to care deeply about
the advice or the opinion that you're offering. Because this could be someone's livelihood. This could be someone's relationship. This could be someone's finances. This could be someone's future that you're offering your opinion on.
You just have to make sure that you know what you're talking about. Like, no kidding. People who respect me and still respect my point of view, hit me up all the time, X my opinion, my advice on things. And guess what, I don't know everything. So
if I can't give them the information myself, I'm pretty sure I know somebody that can, I'll refer them to that person. Because I'll be damned if I'm offering people advice, and I will know what the hell I'm talking about. So my advice to you all is to only offer your advice or your opinion, if somebody asks, and for people on the other end of it, don't be too powerful, or a prideful to ask questions. If you trust that person, if you think they're knowledgeable on the subject, x, that person put your pride to the side people. I remember growing up, man, I was so afraid to ask questions. I didn't want to look stupid.
Some grown up still have the same fear is okay.
Nobody knows everything.
I'm gonna say it again. Nobody knows everything.
And you better believe that whoever's putting on a front like they know everything, ain't just start talking about random stuff and see if they can match what you're putting out.
Nobody knows everything, man. So why pretend to that's just stupid. Like, we're grownups. Or even if some child is listening to this, like, don't be afraid to ask questions.
Never, never be afraid to ask questions. Because you may get that opinion from an expert in what you're struggling with. Or like, let's say, your lowest person at your company, your organization. And everybody else is stumped. In this certain situation, everybody stopped. They don't know what to do about this huge problem. Hey, if you have a good idea, bring forth your opinion. Maybe you have the answer.
Never be too afraid
to speak when, when you're called upon. I mean, I really love when friends and family hit me up. And they need solutions to problems, right. And I'm able to give them some great feedback and some possible courses of action to take
to be better off in their situations respectfully.
It's what it's about man helping each other out, giving each other the best opinions, the best factual information, etc, etc. So, wrapping up today's show, we talked about how your opinion matters, and when it matters, and when it shouldn't matter.
I hope I gave you guys good examples of each. I hope you learned something from today's show. And make sure that you stay tuned in for the next episode of the real ones reserved podcast and as always issue boy, the veteran so who you think you better do
