1. Don’t focus on being the entrepreneur founder. Instead, call people to join you and your mission.

2. People need to know you to help you. Network. Network. Network.

3. The money will find you if you build a product that sells and you make money selling it.

4. Before raising money, invest your money, your family’s money, and your friends’ money. Now you believe!

5. Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well. (Ecclesiastes 11:6)

6. Entrepreneur’s Golden Rule: “If money is available…take it.”
