A successful business is created before there is a business.

Life will get in the way. Count on it. Be prepared for it. Maintain focus and press on towards your goal.

Be worried if no one is criticizing you. Your job in life is to ignore the 33% who will never like you and do your best to convince the 33% who don't care either way to join the 33% who love you

Typically the person who raises the money, or puts up the money to start the business, owns the lion's share of the business. So learn how to sell and keep learning. It will usually be your own fear that you have to overcome.

Once again, the 90/10 rule of money applies - 10% of the borrowers in the world use debt to get richer - 90% use debt to get poorer.

Before you invest in something, invest the time to understand it

If you want to be rich, you need to develop your vision. You must be standing on the edge of time gazing into the future.
