First and foremost, if you’re going to be your own boss you MUST BE self motivated.

And once you get your business running like a well-oiled machine, then you can focus your efforts on something else. But until then, you must be in the trenches getting things working perfectly so you can enjoyed the fruits of your labor.

Integrity
