Hustlers grind and make things happen, but business owners have a long-term plan and focus on building a brand and reputation. • Set clear goals for where you want your business to be in 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years. Align your daily actions to work towards those long-term goals. • Be patient and understand that the path from "bondage to freedom" is not linear - it will have ups and downs, aches and pains, worries and triumphs. Don't rush the process. • Focus on building quality relationships and partnerships, not just one-time transactions. Think about how to serve your customers/clients repeatedly over the long-term. • Be cautious about following everyone on social media who is trying to sell you something. Look for entrepreneurs who are actually doing the business they claim and are transparent about their performance.
