The way people become "seasoned" on here is by hanging on long enough to "make it", and then coming back to tell everyone else how they did it.

What I like best about new businesses is not their experience maybe, but their enthusiasm. It really gets me going with some fresh thinking in my own business. And everyone has experience somewhere ... maybe someone doesn`t have experience running their own business, but maybe they have more experience than I do in managing employees or running payroll because that was their job at their last place of employment. I never discount anyone`s reply as less valuable - everyone has something to add here.
I think telling people you don`t value their response makes them want to respond less.
