Totally agree with you.

I would have put in your list the fist thing is MINDSET.

As you can`t have the rest if you do not have a right attitude and mindset.

Here is a great example:

Friend of mine was offered years ago to work in an early stage startup, but in order to work there, he salary was cut for half, but he got the % of a startup.

His words were: " My salary is less than before, but my IMPACT is bigger than ever".

While another friend of us joined a startup and he said:

"Well my salary is still the same, nothing really changed"

And here you can see the different, the first guy sold the Startup within 2 years and did very well that helped him to star another 2 very successful companies.

Another guy, is still in the same place, waiting for more investment...

So no matter what you do , you need the MINDSET.

Thanks for writing it.
