One of the biggest mistakes aspiring entrepreneurs make is thinking that they need to innovate -- meaning create something entirely new -- to make a name for themselves. But that's a myth. Learn from both the successes and the mistakes of others.

Don't wait for others to clap for you or cheer you on. That's a need for outside validation before you can win. Winning starts on the inside first. Be your own cheerleader, even when you are your ONLY cheerleader. Go on and clap for yourself.

Sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward. Sometimes taking a step back is as necessary as moving forward. Never go so fast that you forget to review your progress or miss your next step.

Focus on the good. There is enough negative in the world without you adding to it. Challenging situations and obstacles are a part of life. Whenever you are faced with one, focus on the good things no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they may appear. If you look for it, you can always find the positive side in every situation — even if it’s not immediately obvious.

Don't share your dreams with everyone because everyone is not cheering for you. There is a lot of envy behind some of those fake smiles. Because we all know haters are gonna hate. That is just what they do. Keep your dreams private and let your success be public.
