  1. There is hope.

  5. Your offer doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to serve someone.

  6. You don’t have to know everything. But know how to hire the person who can help you.

  7. Systematize your business. Teach it to someone else, and focus on what you really love to do.

  8. Take a personal retreat.

  9. Focus on how to live, instead of everything that’s wrong.

  10. When you’re stuck, just start walking somewhere, even if you don’t see the light. Do something different, and see where that leads you.
