- Must: Create your own sound and look, different from others out there. Be original.
- Value the importance of mentors in school and the business.
- Gain inspiration from positive role models that achieved greatness.
- Involve your audience. Don’t be a ‘star in the sky’, but a ‘star in their eye’.
- Being a part of failed business, trains and teaches you to improve and succeed.
