1. Take action. Don’t put it off till tomorrow. Too many good ideas are lost because no one implements, no one takes action

2. Ignore “that’s a bad idea.” When you start a company, lots of people will tell you it’s a bad idea. Ignore them!

3. Never give up. Failure is good — it’s a great teacher. Better to try 10 times and only to succeed once than not to try at all.

My corollary to this, somehow #2 rephrased, is know yourself and your limitations very well, always believe stubornly in yourself and your ideas while being open to adapt to whatever makes a positive impact in your belief system.
