6. Entrepreneurs should be leaders who build enthusiasm.
7. Say you have 15 ideas. Prioritize. If confused among the ideas, categorize them into Great, Mediocre, So-so, and then try working on the "Great" ones. If one idea clicks well, you don't have to worry about the rest of the ideas!
8. Manage Energy, Not Just Time. While time management is important, energy is more cricital. Identify both your energy triggers and energy drains.

15. Early entrepreneurs need to appreciate whatever they have!
16. Entrepreneur needs to be a HERO
    H - Hope
    E- Efficacy

17. If you are starting out today, you need to predict a better future for tomorrow. If you lose hope, you've lost the future!
18. Failure is a SURE step to success, IF you are willing to live with it, if you are willing to develop it!
19. Apple was willing enough to re-invent the future, they were willing to take risks, and ultimately, as we can all see, Apple came out with flying colors!
