Skills – what can you do?
Experience – what have you done in the past?
Knowledge – what do you know?

4.Who you know

When investing, convince yourself to these questions: “I am investing this amount and I expect a 30% return” versus “I can afford to lose this much, therefore I will put it into the business and see if I can make it work”. After saying these to yourself, you should know what to do.
