It doesn't have to contain out of this world tasks. But once you have written down the list, screw it, just do it!

I have had a lot of fun pushing the boundaries on my balloon and kitesurf adventures, breaking some world records in the process, and I think this attitude of having fun whilst working hard is one that lends itself very well to successful entrepreneurship.
