Some points to get you thinking
- Make sure to take care of yourself when running your business, so that you can provide the best offering.
- Remember to have fun. If your goal is to quit your job, but you’re just as miserable in what you are doing now, much is lost.
- There are certain realities as an entrepreneur – times when you have to stand firm with your clients. It’s not easy, but it’s something you have to do.
