3. Know your numbers - I’m not too fond of maths and accounting but you have to understand how the numbers work. Practice as much as you can and after some time you will find it a lot easier to deal with. The numbers are the true deciding factor in any deal, learning to let go of emotion and rely on the numbers comes with experience.

4. Mistakes are not a bad thing - This holds true with having the right mindset. Starting off in a new field will have a lot of failures. That being said my failures have given me the opportunity to learn faster, raise my level of awareness and strengthen my confidence.

5. Find a Coach or Mentor - Having someone experienced to direct you on your journey is priceless.
