1. Grow slowly and steadily – Take small steps, and grow your business steadily.

1. Perseverance – If Plan “A” doesn’t work. Change the plan. Not the Goal. Perseverance is the key to success.

1. Expand your reach gradually – After being stable in your career goals, start growing exponentially. Take leaps and make your dreams come true.
