• Do not let your work take over your personal life and space. 
• Beware of people trying to join you in your venture just for the name or money without doing any of the work. 
• Do not go overboard with finances and do not take unnecessary or uncalculated financial risks. It is not worth the stress. 

Entrepreneurship can be difficult, stressful, and take up a lot of your time, but it can also be extremely rewarding once you start achieving the goals you set for yourself and exceed your own expectations.
