From my experience advising a small group of startups and from my own personal entrepreneurial journey: - Do not delegate work - Micromanage smart people - Don’t create an advisory group - Make all decisions - Worry about everything - Ultra-focused on funding - Do not network with more intelligent people - Don’t share journey, knowledge - Create artificial deadlines - Fail on artificial deadlines - No time for self-health

@my_phung So true! I know friends who have plan fatigues from planning too much. The biggest barrier to success is lack of action -- taking the first baby step is sooooo important!

- no time for self health is the biggest one. For anyone who reads this, go out, workout, start cooking your own food :)
