12. Sharpen your perception
Perception means to examine something in a deep and searching manner
It is human nature to pick and choose. Given a list like the above, people will pick the easy ones, the ones which cause the least pain, or assume they don't need this. They are basically cutting the list down to their comfort level; those people will not succeed. Taking shortcuts will most likely cut your new venture short.
Have a plan, follow the principles, learn from your mistakes, grow stronger and you can realize your dream.
