James Altucher - THE ULTIMATE CHEAT SHEET FOR STARTING AND RUNNING A BUSINESS
THE ULTIMATE CHEAT SHEET FOR STARTING AND RUNNING A BUSINESS
No joke. This is going be a bullet FAQ on starting a business. If you're a lawyer, feel free to disagree with me so you can charge someone your BS fees to give the same advice.
If you can think of anything to add, please do so. I might be missing things. If you want to argue with me, feel free. I might be wrong on any of the items below.
There are many types of business. Depending on your business, some of these won't apply. All of these questions come from questions I've been asked.
The rules are: I'm going to give no explanations. Just listen to me.

Deathbed regrets, inverted

Format: Bronnie Ware / Paul Graham
I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. / Don't ignore your dreams.
I wish I hadn't worked so hard. / Don't work too much.
I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. / Say what you think.
I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. / Cultivate friendships.
I wish that I had let myself be happier. / Be happy.
