The attitude one has towards their business and towards their success or failure is a key component to lead a happy entrepreneurship and successful life. Entering an entrepreneurship can be and is a scary road trip for most, and never did it guarantee instant success. But those who come out strong are those who learnt how to fall standing up. Many if not most of the world’s millionaires are professional entrepreneurs who have faced up to failure several times in their lives.

The 15 principles are divided into two parts: developing the correct frame of mind and making the right decisions.
