1. The business you start with won't be the one you end up with.

5. Your number of Twitter followers doesn't count

6. No one owes you a paycheque

I once heard someone say "no one is buying my ebook. I wrote it and created a website but no one is buying. I put so much time and effort into it already, I shouldn't have to put any more into promoting it!"

Yes, you should. You are not an employee.

    So true I wouldn't give up being my own boss for anything.

    I love not taking crap from anyone I don't want to

    I can so relate to point #1. My first website I basically have nothing to do with these days as I got bored and moved onto bigger and better things

    You need to follow up and expand your business all the time.

    I definitely makes sense to work on 1 to 2 businesses at a time and drive them to value city.

    Once you did that, you can start with new projects to create even more stability.

    Getting stuck on a single idea and not being willing to reinvent and improve is a number one reason for failure.
