I agree with everything you said buddy except for the having backups part. Part of being an entrepreneur is going all-in and "taking the leap" and having a backup plan is the anithesis of this. Successful entrepreneurs know having a backup plan gives them a way out and this is bad when the times get tough. You have to battle through. Having a backup plan is the easy way out. It is okay to fail, thats how you learn sometimes.
Thanks again for this list was awesome info buddy
