· When making a change in your career path, make sure to have six months of money saved before taking action.

· Your hobby can grow and become your main source of income!

· You don’t have to have a strong background in finance to start a business. You are never too old to learn.

· You need to be specific in contracts. You will learn from your mistakes.

· Business doesn’t have to be personal. Don’t worry about being “pushy” or “difficult”.
