If you ask people about your business – passers by, smart people, experienced people, people with domain expertise, customers, commentators, pretty much anybody – they’ll have an opinion.
If you’re smart, you’ll listen to the right people, take in what they say, absorb, digest and work out which make sense and you can use, and which are noise you can ignore. And repeat. Constantly.
So when one of them tells you you’re wrong … pay attention. They’re smart, their opinion counts. Take is seriously. Think long and hard. Triangulate with other sources.
The only person who really knows, who’s opinion really mattes, who has access to all the facts, is you. Every outsider is shooting from the hip. Their job is easy, risk free, and probably only of passing interest, even to them.
Make up your own mind – not on who said what, but on reflection.
