The best business advice in the world can still be the wrong advice for you.As entrepreneurs, it's easy to believe that if a successful expert recommends a strategy, morning routine, or marketing tactic, it's the blueprint we should follow. But what happens when it doesn't fit your life, your season, or your responsibilities? Too often, we assume we're the problem instead of questioning whether the advice was ever designed for us in the first place.In this episode, Laura shares one of the most powerful CEO mindset shifts she's made as a mother and business owner: learning to become the filter for every piece of advice that comes her way. Instead of outsourcing decisions to industry experts, she explains why successful entrepreneurs evaluate every strategy through the lens of their own goals, capacity, values, and season of life.You'll learn why credibility doesn't automatically equal compatibility, how comparison quietly steals your confidence, and why another entrepreneur's success doesn't diminish your own potential. Laura also shares a practical framework for building your personal business filter so you can confidently decide which opportunities deserve your time—and which ones you can leave behind without guilt.Whether you're constantly overwhelmed by conflicting advice, struggling to balance business with motherhood, or feeling like everyone else has found the "right" formula except you, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that building a successful business doesn't require copying someone else's path. It requires leading your business like the CEO you already are.In this episode, you'll learn: Why not every expert strategy is meant for your business. The difference between filtering advice and avoiding difficult work. How motherhood changes the way you evaluate business strategies. Why credibility doesn't always equal compatibility. How to stop comparing your context to someone else's success. A simple three-question framework for filtering every new business tactic. How to make faster, more confident CEO decisions without second-guessing yourself. You don't need to follow every trend or implement every strategy you see online. The most effective CEOs know that discernment is just as valuable as action. Build your filter, trust your judgement, and create a business that works for your life—not someone else's.If this episode challenged the way you think about business advice, subscribe so you never miss an episode, and share it with another entrepreneur who needs permission to stop following every voice on the internet.
