Lessons Barry Moltz learned when he started his own business

Dreams are important but they are not enough. Running your own business is not as glamorous and as fun as you think it is.

You must find business partners, employees and vendors who complement your skills.
“Cool” ideas don’t always mean new business.

Start businesses you have an interest in. It doesn’t really matter if it is the hot thing or not.

Don’t bother trying to pick the perfect time for a business launch. Take a leap of faith. If you are unable to take a leap right now, take it as a signal that you are not ready.

It is not enough that you have an idea. You must also execute.

As an entrepreneur, you will have to do tasks you never thought you had to do. You must learn humility. Everything is your job.

Check your attitude. Your moods will affect everyone in your business.

Build your business one customer at a time. Don’t focus too much on the future. Focus on the present moment.

Allow your business to grow at its own pace.

Only you can save your own business.

The most important thing is passion. If you have lost your passion in your business, close your company or transform it into something else you are interested in.
