Hang around people who will disagree with you.

They will challenge you to think differently.  People know what they believe but how many actually know why?

Until someone challenges you on your ideas, you haven’t gone through the process of understanding why and you may have blinded yourself to alternative, and better, possibilities.

This is important when you are talking to your customers.  You have your idea that you believe in and you want to know what they think.  We are happy to hear form those who agree with us but the idea gets better when it’s challenged.
