27th May - Good advice & bad advice

The success of this venture leans heavily on my belief that if you ask the right questions, in the right way, people in the know are generally very happy to offer advice and support. Of course this does depend on getting the right advice from the right people – these might be the people formally qualified or those 'qualified by experience'.

It’s a personal opinion, but I would always ignore advice from anyone who starts their response with ‘It’s easy you just….’ Or ‘I have a mate who….’. You also need to be aware that for every person offering quality advice, there are probably 5 who just want to be smart or put you down. Ignore them!

On a more serious note, once you start asking focused and relevant questions, people who actually know the answers will start to come out of the woodwork and in a networking environment (more of which later) you should get introduced to the people best able to give that advice.
