What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

1 Always work for a start-up that you believe in. Its more enjoyable to work for something that you know will be successful. 2 Don't mind critics who give negative feedback/or don't take you seriously. Just acknowledge them and move on. 3.
