Seek advice if...

A few guidelines so everyone feels their time has been valued:

1. Seek advice only if you actually want it. 
2. Seek advice because you believe you need some, not because someone else feels you do.
3. Seek advice when you’re prepared to try it.
4. Seek advice from those who will also tell you what you are reluctant to hear.
5. Seek advice for areas that truly hold your interest and from people you respect.
6. Offer advice only if someone asks for it.
7. Offer advice you are prepared to try yourself.
8. Offer advice for which you are willing to help with its implementation.

Sometimes it's okay to just take advice from yourself. :-)
