Here's something you probably didn't know: mentoring is the only proven form of time travel you can readily access. During a catch-up over coffee with your mentor, you can learn one piece of wisdom that may have taken that person 20 years to discover. This doesn't apply only to people in business; it is a universal concept that is relevant to virtually everyone. // DANIEL FLYNN CEO of THANKYOU

The cereal entrepreneur
One of the biggest shifts of giving up a paycheck to start a new venture is the fact that you gave up a paycheck.
Happiness is positive cash flow, and the easiest way to get there is to decrease your spending.
An entrepreneur who is sleeping on a friend’s couch and eating corn flakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner is in far better emotional shape than the one who’s the primary support for a family of four in a fancy house in Scarsdale.
It’s tempting but difficult to raise money to pay yourself first… investors want to pay for for your organization’s assets and market presence, not your overhead.
And it’s difficult to make smart long-term decisions when your narrative of insufficiency is overwhelming.
The two tactics, then, go hand in hand:
1. Cut your expenses to the bone before you need to. Every dollar not spent is a dollar you don’t need to raise. Eat cereal, not sushi. (This is the best reason to start a business when you’re in college).
2. Find customers who will happily pay you in advance because your service or product is so useful that they can’t live without it. And if your service or product isn’t that useful, make it better.

Don’t begin the activities of your day until you know exactly what you plan to accomplish.

Don’t start your day until you have it planned. — Jim Rohn

Use your mornings for high-value work.
Lean to avoid the busy work that adds no real value to your work, vision or long-term goal.

Low value activities, including responding to notifications, or reacting to emails keep you busy and stop you from getting real work done. Make time for work that matters.
