Gets it right in a nutshell
Great advice for starting out on track!
Agreed, but more emphasis on accepting criticism...?
Something that bears a lot more emphasis in your piece is that those creating "the model" or who "have the idea" need to be accepting of criticism, especially from those closest to you. While their remarks may seem a bit more to the bone, they're almost always trying to help you see a side of your model that you may not have seen or though of previously. Take the time to nurture that relationship because in the end, even after ASKING for input from others, they may be one of the few outlets for "on-demand" input.
Thanks for a great piece and I look forward to more!
