The people in your circle who are consistently agreeing with you are not helping you. Earlier today, I asked a good friend of mine his opinion on a business idea I had. After five minutes of us debating back and forth, he apologized for disagreeing while standing his ground. Somehow, in the heat of the moment, I knew that no apology was necessary. At that moment, I knew I had made the leap to a place where I wanted to be professionally. I realized the ideal mindset for success was the one where I believe; the people who disagree with me are the ones I should be talking to.
Sometimes a different road will lead you to the same castle - only faster.
When you go out in the world and tackle 2013, do your best to get more feedback than back pats. It'll show in your bank account at years end.
