Asking everyone for business advice is the same as asking people for wedding advice . Everyone has an opinion but not many have been in your exact shoes. Thanks for sharing this!
Brilliant piece on self-awareness. The shift from seeking validation to building internal conviction is so underrated. I remeber falling into that same trap early on, pitching constantly but mostly just trying to convince myself the idea was solid. Once I stopped treating feedback as a referendum on my judgement, execution got way clearer and honestly less exhausting.
Definitely need to be thoughtful about who you are receiving feedback from, and why. Probably a bit wider than people who have gone exactly where you want to go, though. People who have humble opinions and recognize the applicable domain of their advice are out there, too, and it's helpful to pattern match parallels with your eyes wide open!

Oversharing isn’t transparency but it’s often insecurity disguised as openness. Conviction beats consensus every time. :)

What a sentence this is: Once I stopped treating feedback as a referendum on my judgement...
This one really resonated with me - spot on advice Melissa
Thank you, Mark! Appreciate this
