“I’m open to suggestions…”

Do you mean that? Or are you just saying that?

I see a lot of creatives get the opportunity to hear from people who care (notice I didn’t say critics) but shoot the opportunity down—because of either anger, arrogance, or disinterest—and lose a golden moment.

Don’t think saying the words is the same as meaning it.

Be honest.

Are you ready to close your mouth and listen?
