The 2:00 AM Principle: Building Solutions for Pressing Problems 

I say this as it guided me on my path, hope this will guide you too. Start up only when you find your 2:00 AM problem. Build only when you find that problem, that can keep you awake at 2:00 AM. That one problem, which will push you beyond every limit and you will happily stretch. It will ask you for every sacrifice that you will proudly make, only to solve the problem! I built my first product from my living room with no investment. My second product started the similar way. I still telecommute and remain bootstrapped. If I can do it, you too will. Find that problem that doesn't allow you to sleep at night and build a solution to it. The world is waiting to celebrate your hard work.

Aligning Passion with Problem-Solving in Business

Even if it is your passion, make sure you are solving problems, not driving your own agenda. Your goal is to pave the road for the next, and mentor the next to be smarter, bolder, and more driven. If you create your road only to drive alone, or regulate traffic, you are no longer the problem solver, but the problem maker.

Preparation and Innovation: The Key to Entrepreneurial Success

I would say my biggest learning is always to go prepared for any meeting and really researching and understanding a client's needs. Secondly, innovation in any business is key to long standing success. Timely delivery of services or goods along with maintenance of standard of quality of service is key to retention of customers.
