Too many people think their own advice is the best advice. I've fallen into the same trap before. We like to think we know what's best and everyone else should think, act or believe like we do. Actually the best advice I could give you is develop a broad network of sound advisors. They should challenge you to think of different approaches, angles and perspectives. They should lead you closer to God and Scripture, not away from it. You should disagree at times with true advisors. (Healthy disagreement is important to development.) Your advisors should not just tell you your the greatest and your idea is always the best. They need to be given rein to honestly address your questions and weaknesses.
"A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, to understand a proverb and an enigma, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:5-7)
The more perspective you gain from others the better your decisions will be.
