188 – How to use critical thinking to avoid scams as an entrepreneur?
Have you ever found yourself involved in a situation or purchase, only to realize you’ve been misled? In today’s world, manipulative communication is on the rise, making it increasingly challenging to evaluate information. Fortunately, there’s a solution: enhancing your critical thinking skills.
Critical thinking is a valuable resource for quickly discerning the validity of the information you encounter. It can help you make sharper decisions, improve problem-solving abilities, gain a deeper understanding of the world, and enhance your creativity, breaking free from constraints.

The trigger came from a post on Facebook. I found myself wondering why I was seeing it and how to handle the situation. As my mind began to form some ideas around it, I thought, ‘What if I use this post as an opportunity to show you how I decipher messages?’
Critical thinking serves as the foundation for three essential ingredients for success: Energy, Strategy, and Implementation. Remember also that critical thinking is required to formulate sound plans and effectively implement strategies. Furthermore, the absence of critical thinking can lead to self-doubt, indecision, and uncertainty about how to proceed with implementation.
The aim of this podcast is to empower you with the knowledge of how to read between the lines and recognize whether the information you’ve received is genuine or not.
