  1. Work 20/24 hours - This includes tinkering in your brain all the time
  2. Meditate everyday for 20 minutes
  3. Make systems to manage yourself - Business is a marathon from A to Z but sprints from A to B, B to C until you reach Z. Hence, self management is key.
  4. Always challenge yourself to reach your limits - Personally, i do this by going an extra mile or completing tasks quickly in my business plan. It should feel uncomfortable
  5. Keep daily challenges in a piece of paper or Trello all the time
  6. Try to be the top 1% - I know a few people who hustled for 5 years and failed. Understand that just getting into business wont make you successful. You have to be the top 1%. You can make mistakes all the time
  7. Always solve problems (ASP) - You wake up late and want to skip a day of work? You have a problem to solve. You are lazy to file taxes or do accounts? Another problem to solve. Don't look at problems helplessly or lazily.
  8. Have a business plan with monthly adjustments - Your business plan should keep you occupied the whole month. Make adjustments every month as your business evolve.
  9. Always be happy and always have fun - Be happy for the smallest things. Being unhappy sucks.
  10. Be kind to everyone, even a street dog or a beggar - You are not special.
This thread is a reminder to myself and is derived from my experience in entrepreneurship for a full year.

And I am not rich (I am only paying my bills each month), so do your due diligence. I might change the whole list next year :)

Peace
