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.



BEST MOMENTS

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
