While originally writing about launching a business, I found myself thinking, "these totally apply to current founders too”.
𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘦𝘵 – Understand your motivation (e.g. fear is often disguised as desire) since your passion will fuel momentum long before money and fame.
𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 – (Re)evaluate how you will improve others’ lives and constantly question the approach as their needs change.
𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯 – Research your market and prioritize opportunities regularly to decide how to apply limited time and resources.
𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 – Define your identity and promote your work with content which always resonates with your values.
𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 – Determine who can best support you and seek their advice. Respect their time by perfecting your requests.
𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 – 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 𝗮𝗻𝗱 to recalibrate for success. Allow both feelings to sit in your head.
