KEY TAKEAWAYS

- It’s not always necessary to take big risks to become a successful entrepreneur.
- Believe in yourself. Don´t let the doubts of others put you off.
- You need to be bold, make a decision and take action. Procrastination is your enemy.
- If you get involved in something and realize it is not for you, don´t be too proud to recognize that fact and change direction.
- You need tenacity to get you through the tough times.
- Focus in on one thing at a time. Get that making money, then expand.
- Don´t overthink things and procrastinate, but make sure that you still do your due diligence.
