While originally writing about launching a business, I found myself thinking, "these totally apply to current founders tooโ€.

๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ต โ€“ Understand your motivation (e.g. fear is often disguised as desire) since your passion will fuel momentum long before money and fame.

๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ โ€“ (Re)evaluate how you will improve othersโ€™ lives and constantly question the approach as their needs change.

๐˜—๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ โ€“ Research your market and prioritize opportunities regularly to decide how to apply limited time and resources.

๐˜‰๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ โ€“ Define your identity and promote your work with content which always resonates with your values.

๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ โ€“ Determine who can best support you and seek their advice. Respect their time by perfecting your requests.

๐˜๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ โ€“ Know how you will cover your bills and lifestyle. Balance between ignoring money and obsessing over it.

Money is always necessary, but prosperity is channeling what you love into what you do.

It's possible to both be grateful ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ to recalibrate for success. Allow both feelings to sit in your head.
