Be Determined

You don't get to be an astronaut by being wishy-washy. Most started thinking about a career in space very young, and worked hard to gain the skills necessary to realize their goal.

If you do not feel that you have that drive, it might help to give your goal a sense of purpose.

Why do you care about a new app or electronic device? To support your family? To make people's lives easier? To change the world?

Be a Calculated Risk-Taker

Astronauts are generally not risk-takers. They take calculated risks for something that they think is worthwhile.

As a startup founder, you may feel obliged to risk it all. But, you want to take calculated risks, not some blind, shot-in-the-dark. By implementing a risk-evaluation process into your daily business, you can plan your next moves with less fear of the unknown.

Be Realistic

As you develop your business plan, be realistic.

Getting a new venture off the ground is risky. Being realistic might mean sharing the risk. If you can't make it happen by yourself, consider partners and a co-founder.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
