Surround yourself with 'yay-sayers' not naysayers.

About This Quote

You can have a lot of talented people around you, but if they’re all afraid to let you know how awesome you are, you’ll have a hard time figuring it out. It’s important to surround yourself with people who will tell you when something is awesome and when it isn’t. A naysayer will discourage your ideas in an effort to make them look stupid in the end. That’s not what success looks like at all (of course, they might secretly like the idea), and it definitely isn’t the kind of support that makes people want to work with you.
