*Mentors are good* - accept help from your peers and people that inspire you. There's a reason why top CEO's have them, it's because they are terrible at managing what's going on in their head. Talking to someone takes the personal side out of it.

*Know your value* - one who does not see your value is not valuable. Seek to understand what each person has that is unique or desirable and utilise it.
