I’ve	set	you	on	a	path	to	create	an	exciting	and	profitable	startup.	The	first	major

   hurdle	is	launching;	then,	getting	your	first	customer;	and	then,	proving	the
  concept	and	generating	a	wage	for	yourself	in	a	scalable	way.	What	happens

                                         after	all	that?

Now	it’s	time	to	run	your	business,	and	your	decisions	from	here	out	will	make
or	break	it	in	the	long	term.

Most	businesses	don’t	survive,	so	what	do	you	do	to	keep	yours	growing?

Despite	 a	 lot	 of	 failures,	 I’ve	 managed	 to	 stay	 in	 business	 for	 eight	 years.	 Here
are	some	of	the	personal	philosophies	that	helped	me	get	there.
