BANGALORE: In the early stage of a startup venture it seems like every opinion matters. However, listening to the wrong people can compromise your clear judgment of the situation and can lead you far from your main idea and purpose.

Entrepreneurs should be careful when they choose their startup advisers in order to avoid unnecessary stress, discouragement and confusion.

Here are the five types of advisers, entrepreneurs should avoid along their entrepreneurial path:

1. Advisors who say “No” to everything

When entrepreneurs need advice, they are more likely to listen to people who really understand their point of view and truly want to help them find the solutions for specific problems. People who disagree with all of your actions are not the right people to take advice from. Because in the end you are the one who is running the show and you should be able to listen to your business intuition and follow your business vision.

The people who disagree with everything you do probably don’t respect your business approach and this is a sign that they don’t believe in your entrepreneurial skills and the success of your startup as well. Advisers are people who must be responsive and who can help you find solution for your problems. Make sure that you trust only people who have trust in you.
