When you're about to start something new, something unexplored,you're always looking for any advice that you can get.More than anything else, you're looking at getting the kind of advice that says, "Hey, you're on the right track and these are a couple of suggestions from me that you can think about"
I think a lot of people, when they hand in advice, give it as if there is only one way something can be done. Truth is that there isn't! When you throw a new idea at people, they come to the table with pre-conceived notions about how it should be done.
When you're starting something new, I think you should prepare the best you can and after a point, just trust your sensibilities.If you've prepared well enough and you have a strong instinct about what will work, you should just go about it your way.
And when it works, you can tell the story about why it does!
