6. 1. DREAM BIG
The most successful
businesses are those
which answer a
problem. Doing so
requires thinking of
new ways to
approach situations,
using imagination
and creativity.

7. 2. BE CONFIDENT
Not everyone gets it right
on the first try; that can
wear down the ego. Still,
it’s important to be
confident in oneself and
the product, service,
and/or process one is
hoping to introduce to
the public.

8. 3. BE TENACIOUS
In life, there are a lot
of NOs. One has to
know how to keep
going until there is a
yes, and to do
everything in one’s
power to protect the
vision and dream of
the business/idea.

9. 4. GROW
Once the idea is
realized, it’s important
to invest back into the
business for ultimate
returns. One can always
get bigger and do more,
and one should always
be seeking ways to do
so.

10. 5. KEEP CREATING
Many small business
owners/founders are
what can be described
as “serial
entrepreneurs”, meaning
they develop multiple
businesses and ideas
and nurture all of them
at once.
