1. No Excuses.
Zero. Late for your meeting cause traffic was bad? Wrong. You should have gotten up earlier. Still fat? It's not those genetics - you just haven't spent enough time working out. Underpinning this is a realization that you are 100% responsible for exactly where you are in life. You and you alone. Usually it's only the successful people that will admit they are self-made.
2. Don't be a pussy.
Entrepreneurship is hard. You will be outside of your comfort zone, a lot. And some of the most rewarding things are on the other side of that discomfort. Don't be paralyzed be fear. Learn to do the things that scare you.
3. Go faster.
Someone else out there is trying to do exactly what you are doing. Don't let them take your lunch. Focus on getting more important work done in a day. Learn to hire and outsource. Understand which balls can be dropped and which ones you absolutely must keep in the air.
4. Develop some grit.
No matter what business you go into, there will be times that are great and times that are terrible. You will, at least once, feel like you got your a$$ kicked and that this entire thing was a mistake. Realize this is just one of the not-so-great times and everything else becomes easier. Develop the resiliency and heart needed to get through the rough times.
