While I want to thank him, I also just wanted to point out to everyone how easy it is to forget to ask for second opinions. Get another point of view and take the feedback straight up and find the lessons and value in it.
Because of a great lunch, I’ve got a fresh perspective that I didn’t have before. Will it help? Sure – whatever doesn’t hold you back will move you forward. What resources do you turn to for inspiration? Do you solicit external input or keep it to yourself?
