• Instead of being super restrictive about “what’s next” - learn to take on the opportunities that naturally fall into your path and give new experiences a chance.
• Competitors don’t have to be perceived in a negative light, there are always things that you can learn from them and improve your own product.
• As long as you’re making progress, however slow it may be, stick to the project you feel passionate about and give it your all.
• Don’t let your business be dependent on one sole factor. Go out and figure out different ways to make things happen.
