KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Think of each stage of your business as a level in a video game. Focus on conquering the challenges at that particular level.
• At level one of your business journey, don’t worry about things like your culture and brand, focus on getting customers.
• You have to have a big vision. But, at the same time be prepared to knuckle down and do the necessary small scale tasks.
• It is not possible to keep your life in perfect balance during the early days of a new business.
• If your business gets a bit stuck, push on. It is a lot harder to start all over again than it is to keep going.
• If you think you may want to sell your business, build your company in a way that makes it as easy as possible to do.
• All entrepreneurs experience low points. Celebrating the small wins will help you to get through those periods.
• Small wins compound and soon turn into big wins.
• Focus on one or two things at a time.
