What are the top three lessons you’ve learned as an entrepreneur?
- I trust too easily so have learned how to always ask for references
- I run away with ideas and before long I have built this gigantic platform in my head which I have learned over a period of time to trim and cut back.
- I almost have no patience when work doesn’t get done. I learned how to be a little more patient.
