One thing I have found out in life is that you can start a business with the aim of failing and expect to fail. You have to get rid of what I call the failure-mentality before you should even start working on your idea. I still remember when I was about to start www.nairahost.com with two other friends. The first thing we had to do is to ensure that we eliminate any trace of doubt in our mind. The first year was indeed very rough and I must tell you that we would have probably suspended the business idea but our persistence to see it through kept us on. Today, we are growing stronger and it is even becoming hard to now believe that we can fail. Hi,

I'm a budding young entrepreneur in college (called uni in Australia) and definitely agree you need to have the right kind of mindset and ability to take in what others say, but don't pay too much attention to your peers. If you think it's a good idea, go for it. If you fail, no probs... you're in college. Analyse your mistakes and take note of them. I think another big point is staying in good health. I've let my health deteriorate over the past few weeks with no exercise and eating utter crap (if at all). I've definitely felt less drive to follow my startup passions, felt extremely tired and it's affected my studies, socialability and businesses. cheers nathan Good points which I think can apply to any entrepreneur, seasoned and budding.
