3. The hours will not be better than your current job.
4. The checks roll out the door just as fast as they roll in.
5. Risks are scary, but necessary.
6. Find people you like to work with, and who like to work with you.
7. Be as generous as you can afford to be.
8. You will have problems, but getting through them is how you grow.
9. You will need to ask for help.
10. It takes money to make money.
