Advice for people considering a start-up business

Be positive.

Work positively; create goals and mini-goals. As you reach your mini-goals, you achieve success and move forward. If you fail to reach this goal, workout another strategy and review your actions; your failure should be perceived as a learning experience. Move on and see the future with optimism. Identify what pulled you down or your failures and replace them with more positive actions.
