Get up, dress up, and show up.

You should go to work every day a little bit nervous.

As an entrepreneur, you have to be OK with failure. If you're not failing, you're likely not pushing yourself hard enough.

Automating some of your finances can be incredibly convenient and is a great way to save time, but automating everything makes it too easy to go on autopilot and forget to pay attention to your personal finances.

Before you take the leap, before you jump, really make sure it's going to be something you want to get out of bed [to do] everyday, because it is so hard. So you want to make sure that you're really committed.

The best advice that I can offer is that being proactive and a careful planner is key. Think about the major things that could shake up your financial life, and Ill bet there are some great ways to protect yourself.

Start a business plan for yourself, not for anyone else.
