Seeking feedback is the key to building a skill

Without feedback either from yourself or from outside observers — you cannot figure out what you need to improve on or how close you are to achieving your goals.

Feedback is essential for identifying areas for improvement and gaining a realistic view of your progress. Whether one-on-one coaching with a teacher, mentor, or peer or some form of self-assessment, you need a means of pinpointing your strengths and weaknesses. This is the only way to identify and work through trouble spots and advance from “just ok” to true mastery of a skill.
