“as an entrepreneur it tends to be a very emotional journey. You are doing something you are very passionate about; you are very close to; you are obviously taking a big risk. So, you have to be bold, strong, obviously a risk-taking but try not to be illogical more importantly arrogant especially early on when you start to see success… Always remember to sit next to your customer not across from them.

“start it and don’t be afraid to fail… Just begin. If you don’t make it no one is going to buy it. You are not going to get it right the first time. You may not ever get it 100% right but few businesses do and they still become massive runaway successes. So just start something. Start something small, don’t be afraid to start it small. Don’t be afraid to have one customer and to have one customer for a year that’s still a customer and you can still learn a lot from them.
