- Those people that allow the unknown to stop them from moving ahead; and
- Those people who don't recognise they could do with some help.
- Whatever it is that you don't know, someone else does.
- Lots of people have overcome this very same "unknown" and gone on to be very successful ... so you should too.
- Experience is a wonderful tool ... if you can take advantage of someone else's experience that is a very smart thing to do.
- Be wary of advice from people who have not been there, done that ... there are many people who just love to give advice, whether it is good or not.
- Be wary of advice from people who have been there, done that and clearly still not learned "the answer". If you pay attention you will understand.
- Seek out those with experience.
- You don't need to accept the word of any one person ... in fact if you can get more heads onto the subject, all the better.
- Asking for help is actually a sign of strength ... not weakness. Not asking can be a sign of ego, stupidity, misplaced pride or just naivety.
- Recognising and accepting that you don't know something is not always easy.
- If life was easy then everyone would do it ... so if your problem was easy then likely you wouldn't be in this position.
