Basic question. You like the advice coming from a certain person, but when you stand back & look at the situation you realize that this person cannot take their own advice.
So is it good advice?

First example I think of is a personal trainer. Normally I’d want a personal trainer that “looks” like they take their own advice, right? They keep their body in shape. This builds trust. I find it hard taking advice from a GP that is obese to tell me to lose weight.
Make sense?

So I’ve had a person I’ve been using for advice. And advice is something that I’m seeking someone with knowledge & wisdom in the subject. Not a person with an opinion.
The track record of the advice I’ve been given from this person I have to say, has been pretty good. Difficult to take & use which is frustrating, but looking back, it’s been pretty good.
But if I really look at this person, they don’t take any of their own advice for themselves.

So now that I see this it makes me second guess the advice that was given.

Any ideas?
