"Take as much time as you can to build a foundation laterally, and get as much foundation as you can. As with a building, the deeper and wider the foundation, the higher the building can go. I think you can take the extra time to get more knowledge and to feel comfortable and to realize that because you roasted chickens for a week doesn't mean that you know how to roast chickens."
