I should start a trending business though I declined because I know that a trending business might not work for me as I might not have all it's takes to run it

The worse advice i received was when i went for a marketing program and the speaker was actually saying we should go snd borrow and invest in their products, when there is no sure guarantee of what i stand to gain form them.

Well, since I never seek advice, I never have received one. However, I must say that I have made many bad investment decisions, though. This also includes investing money in Hyips.

Yeah that is a bad business advice copying another or some other person's concept. It is just like going into a trending business with no knowledge of it. You would fail badly.

No one has ever directly adviced me concerning money and finance I got to this stage financially through reading books
The worst advice I have heard concerning finance is to save and not invest

I have also never received any kind of worst advice ever. However, I have made many bad decisions that I do regret. For example, making an investment in HYIP sites was one of my really bad decisions that I have ever made. HYIPs are all scams and people should avoid them at all cost. Have you ever lost your money when it comes to investing in HYIPs?

Accept first offer you got and don't change job even you know company will go broke. Wait for last moment. Sorry but I don't wait last moment and then cry how you lost job and don't have any income.

It is better to always carry out proper research on a particular business and not wait until it become worse. Being proactive and taking necessary action earlier is compulsory.

Yeah don't ever carry out a business without proper research on a particular business. This is always a recipe for disaster and a huge loss. No one can tell me otherwise here

The worst advice that I got is to tolerate the rudeness of a student in my previous company. I strongly said that I am not like you who can do this. The student needs to stop doing it.

A worse advice is being asked to continue with a business that isn't working and you know you have come to the end of the road. it will be better to quit it

The worst Profesional advice I have received was that I should copy some other person's concept. I am all out for creativity and I couldn't do that.
Yes this could lead you to trouble if taken to court. You can only copy someone's work if the perons gives you the right to do that or the is open publicly for display for anyone who wants to make use of it.

The worst professional advice I received was when I got a job in one production company. I was told that someone can't get ahead in the company if he or she doesn't engage in unethical practices

The worst professional advice I have received was when I was working in a school. One of the colleague teachers told me to just do what I can. That I should not bother with putting in extra effort after all the pay is not worth it. When once I accept a job, I give it my all.
