The saying is very true to me that you will only learn from your own experience and not from the others advice.
I think it is not bad to get advice from others yeah they maybe fraud or something but not all peoples are like that. The tip here is that when you got advice don't just follow or believe through with it but rather verify and make a few research if it is legitimate or not. Remember no man is an island, your common knowledge is not sufficient enough so don't be afraid to ask for a bit of advice.
