Why Entrepreneurs Need to Stop Listening to Everyone

2m
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we expose one of the biggest killers of momentum—listening to too many opinions.

When Paul left law enforcement to build his first business, everyone had advice: some called him crazy, others told him to play it safe. If he had listened to them all, he admits he’d still be clocking in. Most advice comes from people’s fears, not your potential—and if you want to build something great, you have to learn to filter out the noise.

🔑 Key takeaways:

Too many voices cause paralysis—clarity comes from action.

Don’t take advice from people who haven’t done what you’re trying to do.

People often project their fears, not your future.

Learn to follow your data and your gut—they’ll guide you further than the crowd.

You don’t need validation—you need conviction.

Ask yourself this week: Who am I listening to that’s never done what I’m trying to do? Then quiet that noise and turn up the volume on the voices that build you—including your own.

🎧 Tune in now to learn how to silence the noise, trust yourself, and move with purpose.

Speaker 2 What's up, everybody? Welcome back to a level up podcast. I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be talking about the trap that kills momentum.
Listening to everyone.

Speaker 2 Too many voices will paralyze you before you even start. When I first left law enforcement, I had dozens of opinions in my year.
Some people told me I was crazy. Other people told me to play it safe.

Speaker 2 If I had listened to all of them, I'd still be clocking in. Most people who give advice mean well, but they speak from their fears, not your potential.

Speaker 2 If you're currently a nine-to-fiber with a dream, you don't need a committee vote. You need conviction.
The world will always try to talk you out of the thing you were born to do.

Speaker 2 Learn to filter that. Listen to people who have results, not opinions.
Silence the noise. Follow your data and your gut.
They'll lead you further than the crowds ever will.

Speaker 2 So I want you to ask yourself this one question.

Speaker 2 Who am I listening to that has never done what I'm trying to do? Write down one voice you need less of this week and one voice you need more of, even if it's your own.

Speaker 2 And that's how you shift from doubt to drive one move at a time, guys. So no matter where you're at in your journey, remember, guys, keep leveling up.
Thanks for listening up to the Level Up Podcast.
