Getting advice is easy.
Acting on it, that’s where most people stop.
We love to collect mentors, join programs, listen to podcasts, read books.
But advice only has value when it becomes action.
It’s not about saying “I have great mentors.”
It’s about showing it through changed behavior, improved decisions, and visible progress.
Every time an advisor tells you something uncomfortable, that’s a mirror.
You can either defend yourself or look closer.
The bravest founders don’t collect advice. They apply it fast, test it, and come back with results.
That’s how growth compounds.
Not from more input, but from quicker implementation.
Because the real mentorship happens after the conversation,
when you face reality, adjust your behavior, and do the work.
So next time someone you respect gives you advice, don’t just write it down.
Apply it. Show them you listened.
That’s how you turn mentors into allies and advice into power.
With grit and gratitude, The Gritter
