I really could have done with some supervison when I first started. I had lots of false starts (wasted a lot of time), and I made lots of mistakes (not such a bad thing as you might think) and didn't really know what I wanted at the end. I had no definition.
Another one of my friends says "begin with the end in mind" - if you know what you really want and have a clear definition of it, then it affects the way you do everything. You feel excited, invigorated and motivated.
