6.) Successful Entrepreneurs Have Mentors, Coaches or Masterminds
Surround yourself with great mentors. They help when you reach a plateau in your business cycle and can shave years off your business development and growth through advising from their mistakes and successes. Thalej Vasishta
7.) Stop Thinking of Your Own Wallet Part II
Approach your business from a place of service; how can I help my audience be more successful at what theyre doing. Before you write a blog, write a newsletter, shoot a video, present a proposal be still for a moment and ask for the knowledge of what your audience needs from you right now rather than to look for a way to win someone over. Come from a place of how to fill someone else cup rather than your own. Oh yeah and build a freaking list! Susan Garrett

14.) Being an Entrepreneur is a Journey Not a Destination
Learn to love the journey. Enjoy the slow steady movements toward what you dream of. And take refuge in the simple comforts of loving relationships, dear friends and your creative vision.

Nothing wrong with that, as a teacher told me, fear means: Prepare to Grow! Ahava Shira

I saw this successful man's interview on BBC. Mr. Vineet Nayar, a successful entrepreneur, CEO of HCL Technologies gave a new thought saying: Employees First, Customers Second
The relationship between employees and their place of work is critical to the overall success of any business. Are your employees made to feel like active participants in your company?
"87 per cent of HCL Technologies’ employees are aged under 30.They have fresh ideas and no baggage, no history to unlearn, no methods that are ingrained. When business models change and the parameters of business success shift, we need fresh thinking.” - Anand Pillai, SVP, HCL Technologies
