मुश्किलें हमेशा बेहतरीन लोगो के हिस्से में आती है क्यूंकि वो लोग ही उसे बेहतरीन तरीके से अंजाम देने की ताक़त रखते है ,.. जीबन की हर समस्या ट्रफिक की लाल बत्ती की तरह होती है ,,.. यदि हम थोढी देर प्रतीक्षा कर लें तो वह हरी हो जाती है ,,,धैर्य रखे ,,प्रयास करे ,,समय बदलता ही है ,,.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is a comment
This is ridiculously basic... The first one alone "Yes we can" should require major investigation. This is a very dangerous "mindset" for an entrepreneur, IMO. Rule #1 should be "to be very wary and skeptical of people like this", probably well-meaning but someone who somehow only serves the sweetest part of the cherry they picked. People are different, businesses are different, customers are different... With that said, some of the "tips" I agree with, especially 4, 5 and 6... but I think they're just common sense. I think first thing would be to figure out what kind of entrepreneur you want to be and why. What do your goals look like and why? Who are you helping and why? There would still be a lot to learn about yourself and the business and how to grow or meet your definition of success. There's a lot of ways to be an entrepreneur. Nothing wrong with advice and tips but they should be taken with a grain of salt to see if they work for you. Nike might be a much different company if they had said "Yes, we can" to someone asking for more comfortable tap shoes and lost focus on their goals.
