When looking at trends I always ask myself basic and timeless questions about business, and the one I seem to always come back to is, 'How is this different than anything else in the marketplace?'

It will never be a perfect time, you can only make time perfect.

You can make up your own opinion, but you can't make up your own facts, go sell.

Good grooming is integral, and impeccable style is a must. If you don't look the part, no one will want to give you time or money.

While good business ideas are plentiful, many entrepreneurs struggle to understand payroll taxes, health care and other thorny issues… In other words, they don't have the financial literacy to scale their businesses and attract investors.

In entrepreneurship, you decide to give up your day job at the point where either (A) the hobby/new business is at least making some form of ends meet, or (B) you feel that you need to dedicate yourself for a certain amount of time to it and give yourself the last hoorah.

Always dress to what is accurate to who and what you are.
