Start ups, please stop waiting for grant money to start running your business. Yes, you may need it, but it should not hold you back from making sales. Never be dependent on a grant. You are not a non-profit!
In business, believe in the butterfly effect. It's a belief that if you perform small tasks every day for your business, it will lead to big results. Add to your social media. Make some cold calls to new customers. Go door to door if you have to!
Friendships are super important for any entrepreneur, but not just any friendship. Befriend individuals who want success as bad as you. Make it a competition! Grow together. Become wealthy together. Support one another.
