5 Tips for Budding Entrepreneurs Steven Cox, CEO TakeLessons.com

1. Plan on a long journey The “quick hit” is the exception… Pick something you’re passionate about.
2. Have confidence in your ideas and your abilities but…
D on’t believe your own hype. Don’t let optimism overpower realism. Admit what isn’t working. Measure everything. Fail fast.
 
3. Build a Team Share the Vision Hire Smart, Passionate People Build the Culture
4. C apital: raise enough to allow you to make mistakes. B ut not so much that it makes you cocky/lazy. Your forecasts will be off. Stuff you try won’t work. Competitors won’t sit idle. “ Perfection is the enemy of good enough…”
Finally… #5 Know what you’re shooting for. The 4-hour workweek? Complete horseshit. Want to build sustainability? Work half a day. Either the first 12 hours, or the second 12 hours. … and remember…
50% of the fuel is used just getting off the ground. Resolve to do what it takes to get off the ground!
