#112: Just because someone recommends it does not always mean it’s best for you
"Remember that there is always going to be another solution"
In this episode, Heather discusses the power of recommendations and how they influence our choices in using certain tools or products. She uses the example of CRM systems recommended by two different business training groups she is a part of. Heather emphasizes that while recommendations are valuable, it's important to consider if there might be better options available. She advises listeners to focus on their specific needs and the features they require in a tool, and to seek recommendations from others in similar situations. Ultimately, the tool itself doesn't matter as much as the knowledge and understanding of how to use it effectively.
